Bad news. Looks like someone ran away with the money

Its the reason why efficient coordination is needed when it comes to a large opensource online project.

If somebody nuked redmond windows would be GONE, but if someone nuked the whole of finland (Linus' homeland) linux would still be under active development.

Looks like the CentOS team put too much faith in one man to carry the project forward.

Cent OS is THE best OS for servers..
Update (Aug-1-2009): Long Live CentOS

From CentOS.org:

The CentOS Development team had a routine meeting today with Lance Davis in attendance. During the meeting a majority of issues were resolved immediately and a working agreement was reached with deadlines for remaining unresolved issues. There should be no impact to any CentOS users going forward.

The CentOS project is now in control of the CentOS.org and CentOS.info domains and owns all trademarks, materials, and artwork in the CentOS distributions.

CentOS is not dead or going away. The signers of the Open Letter are fully committed to continue the CentOS Project. Updates and new releases will continue.

Most of the Issues have been resolved, there is an action plan with agreed upon dates for any outstanding issues.

I really think that the founder is keen one making money which should not be the ultimate desire of any open source initiative
