Special Interest Groups
CentOS Special Interest Groups (SIGs) develop and package software for CentOS ecosystem, or do other work to support the CentOS project. Some SIGs produce software to run on top of CentOS Stream, while others create separate editions of CentOS.

For information on SIG responsibilities, SIG governance, and how to start a SIG, see SIG Governance.

Alternative Images

Live ISO images, WSL images, and images that include different software.

The Alternative Images SIG builds and provides alternate ISO images for CentOS Stream. These images are hosted in the CentOS infrastructure, and are regularly updated at least once every three months.

Artwork

Artwork and design to support the CentOS project.

The Artwork SIG provides graphic design for the entire CentOS project. This includes CentOS logo and brand guidelines, web design, and assets for promotional materials.

Automotive

Public, in-development preview of the upcoming Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System.

The primary deliverable of the Automotive SIG is AutoSD, a binary distribution developed within the SIG that is a public, in-development preview of the upcoming Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System (OS). AutoSD is CentOS Stream, with divergences that meet unique automotive use cases, which might include new, automotive-specific packages and rebuilds or reconfigurations of existing CentOS Stream packages.

Cloud

Builds of OKD Kubernetes, RDO OpenStack, and Stream CoreOS.

The Cloud SIG focuses on providing different FOSS based cloud infrastructure applications that can be installed and run natively on CentOS Stream. The Cloud SIG is working on several artifacts, including the RPM distribution of OpenStack (RDO) repositories and the OKD/SCOS distribution of Kubernetes built with a Tekton pipeline.

ISA

Evaluating the benefits of enabling new CPU features.

The ISA SIG quantifies the potential benefits of applying existing compiler technology to distribution packages, targeting more recent CPUs, and evaluating different options for how these optimizations can be maintained in a scalable way, and delivered to end users. The initial focus is the x86_64 architecture, but other architectures may be included in the future.

Kmods

Kernel modules for the stock Enterprise Linux kernel, as well as Fedora flavored kernels for Enterprise Linux distributions.

The Kmods SIG focuses on two aspects: packaging and maintaining kernel modules for the stock Enterprise Linux kernel, and packaging and maintaining Fedora flavored kernels for Enterprise Linux distributions.

NFV

Platform for the deployment and testing of virtual network functions (VNFs) and NFV component packages on CentOS.

The NFV SIG provides a CentOS-based stack that will serve as a platform for the deployment and testing of virtual network functions (VNFs) and NFV component packages on compliant CentOS platform. Currently, the main goal is to provide RPM packages of OpenvSwitch and Open Virtual Network software for CentOS Stream that can be used by other projects as oVirt, OpenStack or OpenShift.
