Wolves LUG - Greg Kurtzer and R. Leigh Hennig from the Rocky Linux project

This meeting was set up by the Wolverhampton LUG. The meeting will open at 19:30 BST (14:30 EDT), the talk is expected to
start around 20:30 (15:30 EDT).

After the news that CentOS 8 will be EOL this year and transition to a
rolling release model, Greg Kurtzer, original founder of the CentOS
project announced Rocky Linux, a free, community-run drop in replacement for CentOS and RHEL.

Within days, a community sprang up to build the project infrastructure
and following a whirlwind few months, the first release candidate of Rocky Linux is expected by 30th April 2021 and an official release by mid-2021.

Greg and Leigh will be talking about the formation and status of Rocky
Linux, answer questions that sysadmins might have about migrating a
CentOS system to Rocky Linux and how users can contribute to the success of Rocky Linux.
