CentOS Project Administrator Goes AWOL
An anonymous reader writes "Lance Davis, the main project administrator for CentOS, a popular free 'rebuild' of Red Hat's Enterprise Linux, appears to have gone AWOL. In an open letter from his fellow CentOS developers, they describe the precarious situation the project has been put in. There have been attempts to contact him for some time now, as he's the sole administrator for the centos.org domain, the IRC channels, and apparently, CentOS funds. One can only hope that Lance gets in contact with them and gets things sorted out."
An excellent example of the failures of Open Source. You can't even guarantee that a major project isn't just going to stop without notice. OK, so I know they've not shut it and its situation fairly normal for now as long as nothing goes wrong but its a good example of what grief it can cause when someone just decides to walk away because they've no obligation to the project or its users.
