CentOS: Getting Their S#!t Together is a Top Priority
So everything is being resolved, CentOS is getting its act together, and we can all go about our business. Nothing to see here, move along. Move along. Right?
Wrong.
Frankly, I am absolutely amazed that such a high-profile Open Source project could continue in operation without addressing who was in control of its financials as well as its Internet presence. This particular incident raises a whole bunch of questions as to how large Open Source projects should be managed and who should be made accountable.
For starters, there needs to be clear policies of who is going to administer what, and that there should never, ever be a situation where one person holding the keys to the domain or any key administrative and financial accounts can just walk away and leave the developers holding their you-know-whats in their hands. This behavior is absolutely abysmal and Davis should be lucky not to walk out of this with civil charges pressed against him.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

re: CentOS
Seems a tad early to state they won't get their shit together.
There was a real problem (i.e. Davis) but the crew that's left over are working to address the problems he created. There's not enough publicized facts to determine if they just put a bandaid on it, or if they are truly addressing the past problems.
I think the safest bet is to wait and watch and see what happens.
If they are actually solving the past problems, they will need to be WAY more transparent about how CentOS is setup and run.
We'll see......
