What is the best spot to contribute to CentOS discussion?

[joseph (Joseph Gayoso)]

I’ve known about this category for a while, but it seems like you guys also have your own forum and mailing lists. I imagine it’s a similar situation to Fedora in the conversations are spread out among several platforms, but I wanted to see if Fedora Discussion is one that is actively used.

It’s sort of on ongoing question. The forums will likely be archived in the next year. The mailing lists are running on old infra, and something needs to be done, but the CentOS community seems to prefer mailing lists over Discourse for a lot of things. We created this category here to sort of test the waters. We’ve also talked about a dedicated Discourse instance for CentOS, but it’s only worthwhile if people commit to being there.

If you do move to Discourse, good luck!

I think it makes sense for it to be a section of Fedora’s discourse.

In the end, the two projects are closely related (CentOS is just a variant of Fedora)

FYI, and I think relevant:

Heads up: moving the CentOS category to "Our Neighbors"

I’d like to keep the front page of this site from having too many different categories (even if 7 is not actually a magic number for menu items). To that end, now that we have Asahi Linux, it seems natural to move CentOS up a level, to that same hierarchy. I plan to do that in about a week. All links will still work, as will all settings (the category itself won’t change, just the navigation to it from the top level).
