<p>Hi folks,</p>
<p>I wanted to forward this email below about an upcoming Wolves LUG
talk on April 28th. I don't know much about Rocky Linux but I hear
it's gonna be big news this year because CentOS is changing to
rolling release and so much of the hosting industry relies on it.</p>
<p>Adam has done a great job of getting 2 of the main people behind
the distro to talk for Wolves LUG. It'll be on Zoom so you can
join from wherever you are.</p>
<p>I'll mention it again at the meeting tonight. Coming up soon.</p>
<p>See ya,</p>
<p>Dan</p>

Hi everyone<br>
<br>
On the evening of Wednesday 28th April 2021, Rocky Linux founder
and Executive Director Greg Kurtzer and Director of Operations R.
Leigh Hennig will be talking about Rocky Linux.<br>
<br>
After the news that CentOS 8 will be EOL this year and transition
to a rolling release model, Greg Kurtzer, original founder of the
CentOS project announced Rocky Linux, a free, community-run drop
in replacement for CentOS and RHEL. The first release candidate of
Rocky Linux is expected by 30th April 2021 and an official release
by mid-2021.<br>
<br>
Greg and Leigh will be talking about the formation and status of
Rocky Linux, answer questions that sysadmins might have and how
users can contribute to the success of Rocky Linux.<br>
<br>
It’s a big deal getting these guys to speak to us just as Rocky
Linux is poised to be the big Linux distro story of the year.
We’re really excited about this one, please join us.<br>
