Brockmeier: Red Hat and the Clone Wars III: The dawn of CentOS
[Posted July 4, 2023 by corbet]
Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier has been a part of the Linux community for decades; he is now using that experience to write a series on "Red Hat and the Clone Wars". The first two episodes were Red Hat and the Clone Wars and A history of the early 2000s Linux landscape; the latest is The dawn of CentOS:
In 2009, the main project admin for CentOS went radio silent. CentOS had been spun up in the wild west days of the Internet, when it seemed totally fine to let one person hold the domain, communications channels, and funds. Oops.Folks depending on CentOS suddenly had a Come to Jesus moment. What happens if your production systems depend on a project where the main admin is AWOL and you have no plan for that?
