[Liverpool] Fwd: [lugmaster] Talk: Greg Kurtzer and R. Leigh Hennig from the Rocky Linux project

[Dan Lynch]

Hi folks,

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.

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.

I'll mention it again at the meeting tonight. Coming up soon.

See ya,

Dan

Hi everyone

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.

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.

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.

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.
