CentOS Administrator Reappears

Posted by Soulskill on from the bet-he-was-hiking-in-the-appalachian-trail dept.

str8edge sends word that Lance Davis, the CentOS project administrator who had mysteriously gone absent, has now returned and is working with the development team to get things back on track. From their announcement: "The CentOS Development team had a routine meeting today with Lance Davis in attendance. During the meeting a majority of issues were resolved immediately and a working agreement was reached with deadlines for remaining unresolved issues. There should be no impact to any CentOS users going forward. The CentOS project is now in control of the CentOS.org and CentOS.info domains and owns all trademarks, materials, and artwork in the CentOS distributions. We look forward to working with Lance to quickly complete all the agreed upon issues. More information will follow soon."

    Hiking that Appalachian trail can be tricky. I hear it goes all the way to Argentina.

    reappear in front of the team one day, with bloodstain and mud all over his body, and yelled "I'm single, AGAIN!".

    Good news.

    Here I am in my sickbed writing rsync scripts for cross-site backups between CentOS-based servers, and seeing the headline made me smile, in-between fits of coughing.

    If by some amazing chance Karanbir Singh see this - I promise to rack up the dual Itanium server for IA64 testing and dev as soon as I get back to work and clean up a few other outstanding issues.

    Me neither! My mission critical servers are too important to trust to open source. I am switching everything to Windows.

    Finally, on a personal note, I would like to ask yttrstein why he feels compelled to burden the rest of us with his un-informed opinions on this topic. He could have easily researched the issue, in about 5 or 10 minutes, and perhaps contributed something worth reading.

    He's probably 12 years old or 45 and lives in his mom's basement. His mindless gurgle resulted in your interesting post, so perhaps he'll learn something before his 8pm scheduled online/pr0n wank session...
