Centos podcast on FLOSS weekly
 

If you've ever wondered what Karanbir Singh looks like, check out this
week's (142) video podcast at http://twit.tv/floss. I'm only partway
through the audio version (will finish on the drive home) and haven't
heard anything that would be surprising to people already using Centos
yet but it's a great presentation and something to recommend to people
who aren't familiar with the project.

Agree, and I feel compelled to thank KB not only for his technical
work but also for devoting his time and patience (and face!) to
media-fueling the general attention given to the CentOS project.

Hey KB... you look and sound just like you type! :)

Really, it's a thanks to all the 'core' team in particular and all those
others helping with the project and we also need to mention all those
acting as mirrors and ....... gee... suddenly I feel like someone trying
to not forget somebody while accepting an Oscar or something. I'd like
to thank my parents for raising a smart kid who knew to use only the
best OS... I'd like to thank.... LOL

Now if I can just figure out if it is pronounced sen-tose, sen-tas or
what. Sounded more like sen-tos from KB and sen-tas from both
interviewers. Either way, the interview was actually rather
invigorating. Now if you guys would just quit hacking my websites. ;)

Absolutely, sometimes its easy to forget the large number of people who
contribute in many different ways to make this whole ecosystem work.
Starting from the upstream developers on kernel.org through to the Red
Hat teams and the CentOS builders, community 'activists', the mirror
network, the infra team, the users, the many people who help with
bugs.centos.org and wiki.centos.org. Thanks to everyone for coming
together and making this work for such a large number of people.
Sometimes pushing 25+ hrs/week on CentOS - over and above the 40 hrs at
DayJob work gets hard to self-justify, but when you think about the
impact that this has and on how large an audience it reaches, somehow
things seem worthwhile.

It would still be quite nice to see a lot more people get involved, get
active and join the regular-corps.

Thanks! and if there are any questions or anything specific that anyone
wants to know more about, feel free to ask!

Stop hacking your website ? why would we want to do that!

Felt the same thing too. Eerie...

Anyway, Karanbir, you mentioned in the podcast that some users revert from
RHEL to CentOS, and that it was relatively easy to do with only some three
packages or something like that.

Would you mind elaborating on that?

Would it be as "easy" as to follow eg
http://fixlinux.com/2006/04/11/migrate-rhel-to-centos/, or is there an even
simpler way to do it?

Thanks.

Well, being a heterosexual male... I don't think I can comment further
as I'm not 'qualified'. LOL!!!

A bit of my history. I was looking at Debian when RedHat ended my
subscription method, which was quite reasonable and adopted the much
higher rate. Then Whitebox came along and I quickly jumped to that. I
cyber-met Johnny Hughes over there. I found CentOS at about the time it
was forming and asked Johnny about it and switched to CentOS during that
time when the downloads got pounded with each new minor version upgrade.
So, I've been hanging out here for a while. That said, there is one
thing that I have somehow known, but became crystal clear in that
interview. The 'mindset' of the core team is phenomenal. The maturity
level is actually astounding!

I have seen some come into this list and 'go off' on a member of the
core team, not knowing who they were talking to. It seems that in each
case, any of you could have responded likewise. But, I have never known
that to happen (or at least not in a kind or proper manner).

We are 'all' obviously very much indebted to your long hours of hard
work. And as humans, you must at least have some feeling of being owed
or whatever you want to call that. But yet, always your tempers are put
at bay and what comes forth is 'always' only positive for the entire
project. Now, I don't know how in words to state my respect for that...
and the fact that it seems to be the whole core team. You must have had
lengthy discussions to all vow to such an attitude. Perhaps the most
commendable portion of the entire project.
