Events

Last week we were at DevConf.in in Bangalore. If you dropped by, thanks!

Next week - August 14th - we'll be gathering at Boston University, in Boston, Massachusetts, for the second annual CentOS Dojo at DevConf.US. There's still space to register, if you wish to attend. In addition to the regular sessions, there will be an opportunity to give lightning talks about what you're working on, as requested by last year's attendees. More details are available on the event wiki page.

And the week after that - August 21-23 - we will be at the Open Source Summit in San Diego. Drop by to see us at the Red Hat booth!

If you are presenting anything about CentOS, at any event anywhere in the world, please do let us know, so that we can promote your presence there, and your talk.

If you'd like to run a CentOS Dojo, or other community event, we may be able to help. Get in touch via the centos-devel mailing list, or via our Twitter account @CentOSProject.
