Hyperscale SIG + Alternative Images SIG meetup
2026-01-29 , Walnut 3

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 expanding CentOS Stream 10 based deliverables (Hyperscale Spin, alternative desktop images, cloud and ARM disk images, etc.) and future efforts around growing the CentOS community.

Neal Gompa is a developer for–and contributor to–Fedora, CentOS, AlmaLinux, and openSUSE. Neal focuses primarily on the base Linux system components, such as package and software management, and desktop Linux. He believes in “upstream first,” which has led him all over the open source world. In addition to open source work as a consultant through Velocity Limitless, he is also a co-host on the Sudo Show podcast where he talks about "the business of open source."
