Sessions
This will be a combined meetup led by the Hyperscale and Alternative Images SIGs. This meetup will be an opportunity to sync up and collaborate on the next year of work within both SIGs.
Of particular focus will be the bringup of support for CentOS Stream 10 based deliverables (Hyperscale Spin, alternative desktop images, cloud and ARM disk images, etc.) and future efforts around growing the CentOS community.
Join Troy for the semi-annual State of EPEL presentation. What we have done the past six months, what we are currently doing, and what is next. We will be giving an extra emphasis on EPEL 10 and why it is different than previous versions of EPEL.
CentOS Alternative Images SIG has progressed alot in the past year. Troy will go over all the new Images we adding this past year and what we have planned next. He will also do a demo some of his favorite images.
CentOS Stream is a Linux distribution built by Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) engineers as part of RHEL development.
Innovation within the OS happens in Fedora. CentOS Stream provides a solid base for innovation on top of an OS. Many CentOS Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are building on and extending it in all sorts of interesting ways without needing to reinvent the wheel.
CentOS Stream also serves as a contribution path to RHEL itself. The source, the builds, the release, it all happens in the open.
Come and learn about what's new, what's coming, how to get involved both directly and through CentOS SIGs.
