I want to emphasize, this is NOT an April Fool's joke. It may come as a surprise, given I am the lead of @buddiesofbudgie, but I am just as interested in seeing adoption of Fedora and the greater Linux desktop increase. I firmly believe that Plasma as a default over GNOME Shell would be a net positive for the Linux ecosystem.
Our friends at Fedora are holding Flock in Rochester. We're excited to have a CentOS and friends track again. The CFP is open until April 21. Let's talk about CentOS 10 and the next five years of enterprise operating systems.
Coming to SCaLE? We'll be running a CentOS Classroom and Packaging Workshop on Thursday, March 14, at 2pm. Join us to learn how to package for EPEL or a CentOS SIG.
That's a wrap on CentOS Connect, but there's more fun to be had at FOSDEM. Stop by our booth in the AW building, and join the Distros Devroom on Sunday.
Thanks to our sponsors @almalinux, @rockylinux, @fedora, and Red Hat. It's with their help that we've been able to grow CentOS Connect this year. Get in touch if you'd like to sponsor too.
Don't forget to register to join us in Brussels. It's free, but we really need to know you're coming.
On more look back to CentOS at Flock while we look forward to CentOS Connect at FOSDEM. Troy Dawson took the stage yet again, this time with @carlwgeorge, to tell us the state of EPEL.
We're looking back on the CentOS track at Flock while we prepare for CentOS Connect at FOSDEM. Today, watch Adam Samalik talk about how CentOS Stream and RHEL are developed in the public.
Time to connect! CentOS Connect 2024 will happen February 1-2 in Brussels, Belgium, just before FOSDEM. We've expanded to two days and added space for meetups. CFP for sessions and meetups is open now. Make sure to register for free to come. #centos#fosdem
We're working with other distro friends to deliver the Distros Devroom at #FOSDEM. If the devroom is accepted, what themes or topics would you like to see?
