[BBLISA] centos in trouble

Ooooooo.

 

Have a look at http://www.centos.org

 

It seems centos is in trouble.  One of their founders may be pulling an
Enron.  Or more accurately, a SunRocket.  (The CEO of SunRocket one day sold
all the equipment, emptied the bank account, and disappeared to some
Caribbean island.  The employees learned they were fired when the support
lines stopped ringing, so one of them called the support line from his cell
phone to see what was going on, and got the recording "sunrocket has
terminated all functions.  Goodbye.")

 

Apparently one guy has always had a stranglehold on centos, hasn't been
willing or able to grant additional control to other delegates, and has
disappeared from the face of the earth.  (over a year ago).  

 

I sincerely doubt centos could truly die.  If they have to, they'll take a
severe setback, get a new domain, rebuild everything from scratch, and get
back into operation.  But that would in fact be a severe setback.
