The idea is that, now that the End-of-Life for CentOS Linux 8 has passed, users have a new path forward, rather than switching distros
Surely most organisations that cared about being on an updated OS would have already moved to something else and the ones still on CentOS 8 don't care. This would have been timed much better if it had happened before CentOS8 EOL. Other than that it's a good idea

It would have been good if the article had mentioned that Gates stands alone in the group (I think) as someone who actually trying to use his wealth to benefit humanity with his foundation. The others seem more content on playing with rockets and yachts though...

> Why on earth would AWS want to build 3 datacentres so close together? Bracknell, Didcot and Swindon are all basically on the M4.
So they have low latency between the sites so databases work, the network is fast etc etc.

I work for a very large company. It's almost impossible to get money for donations to projects, conferences etc. as it just doesn't seem to fit in with the "receive invoice, wait for ages, pay invoice" model of payments. I've tried to get small amounts of money and it is very hard. Interestingly the only people to have any kind money for this are the diversity and inclusion group, so people usually try to force some "Diversity" angle on things!
