I know it probably won't make a difference, but I figure it doesn't hurt to try.

    I don't use CentOS, but I signed anyway.

    the distribution (CentOS) would maintain it's place in the community

    Typo here. "it's" should be "its".

    I am against the petition.

    All good things come to the end, eventually. Let it go. She wants a divorce. Let her go, man.

    Let me cry about it for a bit first. I need to grieve.

    Looks like Ubuntu LTS is the move, but that also means I have to finally learn Netplan...

    Just what nobody asked for, more YAML.

    I dunno...having used both RHEL and CentOS, I deeply want both of them to fail.

    You're recommending people willingly use an Oracle product.

    What's wrong with you? Did the JAVA IPMI's not drain bamage you enough?

    Ditto. The decision is made.

    I signed it too. But what does it mean for the current servers using CentOS? What should we do and until when?

    I dont see anything wrong. Always better than going to migrate a dozen of Servers to another OS. If you are so shocked why don't you offer to do a free migration ? ^..^

    Part of answer to first question there:

    Yes, we know that this is Oracle, but it's actually free. Seriously.

    Self-deprecating humor from Oracle... interesting!? :)

    it is free for the time being, but rest assured that the price will be jacked up when it hurts you most :-)

    Used both RedHat and Centos for a while (quite a few years ago) and walked away to Debian. Slightly corrected course after Debian was corrupted and sullied by systemd and changed to Devuan. Never missed RedHat or Centos (or fedora).

    I'm not a hateful person, so I say a friendly "RIP Centos" and go on as if nothing happened. Because in fact nothing happened, nothing relevant anyway.

    IF I ever wanted to create/work on a new linux distro (I'm definitely not): have a look at Slackware and build some funny crap on it and then make sure that your distro never ever gets into the hands of a corporation!

  • Never used it... But

    Having been working with Oracle products since the late 90s, I can honestly say this is the first time I've seen this from them.

    In fact, it might be the first time I've seen any humor from them.

    I went the other way. Was originally a Ubuntu/Debian (actually, FreeBSD originally if counting BSDs) user and eventually migrated to CentOS for its stability and "enterprise" features. Not sure what to do with all the machines I just deployed with CentOS 8 in the past few months thinking it was time to upgrade from 7.

    More than a few sysadmins managing tens/hundreds/thousands of machines on CentOS might disagree with you on this point. Support for CentOS 8 through 2029 has just been cut short to the end of 2021. This isn't nothing.

    I understand and respect your view but I disagree.
    Btw one of the reasons to consider this largely irrelevant is the IMO very high likelihood that some kind of replacement project will be launched, possibly even multiple ones.

    Oracle paid me $7 to make that post. (Oracle, DM me for wiring instructions)

    Sounds like you don't get handed the invoices from Oracle. The initial reaction should be, "you're joking, right?"

    Similarly Ive seen corperate invoices from IAR (local distributors) for approx 50 seats and though "I could build a compiler for that".
