Okay, friends, this is the changelog and we're going back to the hallway track at All Things Open 2024 in Raleigh, North Carolina. This episode features Carl George, Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat for discussion on the state of open source enterprise Linux and RHEL, better known as Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

We talked to Max Howe, creator of Homebrew and the Tea Protocol at Tea.xyz, which offers rewards and recognition to open source maintainers. And last, we talked to Chad Whitaker, head of open source at Century, about the launch of Open Source Pledge and their plans to help businesses and orgs do the right thing and support open source. A massive thank you to our friends at fly.io.

That is the home of changelog.com. Deploy your app in five minutes at fly.io. Okay, let's do this. What's up, friends? I'm here with Dave Rosenthal, CTO of Sentry.

So Dave, when I look at Sentry, I see you driving towards full application health, error monitoring where things began, session replay, being able to replay a view of the interface a user had going on when they experienced an issue with full tracing, full data, the advancements you're making with tracing and profiling, cron monitoring, code coverage, user feedback. and just tons of integrations.

Give me a glimpse into the inevitable future. What are you driving towards?

Okay. Let's see you get there. Let's see you get there tomorrow. Yeah. Perfectly. How will systems be different? How will teams be different as a result?

I love it. Okay, so they mean it when they say code breaks. Fix it faster with Sentry. More than 100,000 growing teams use Sentry to find problems fast, and you can too. Learn more at Sentry.io. That's S-E-N-T-R-Y.io. And use our code CHANGELOG. Get $100 off the team plan. That's almost four months free for you to try out Sentry. Once again, Sentry.io. All right, hard question first, Carl.

You ready for this?

No.

My name's Benny Vasquez. Actually, get a little closer to the mic and give me a sound check.

Do you make your own barbecue?

You're a backyard barbecue guy.

Gotta love a good smoker hand-me-down, you know, really.

That's where I'm at. I'm like, I don't have a hand-me-down. So I'm like, my only option is to either build one myself, which I will probably not do. Or spend money on a mill scale or something else.

I have friends. Okay. Yeah. I can get it done if I wanted to, but it's heavy. You've got to bother your friends.

I don't have the expertise. I want to leverage Aaron Franklin's expertise or mill scale's expertise. Why do I have to become a barbecue manufacturer expert just to become a backyard amateur?

Yeah, there's a lot of...

Wings, stuff like that. But I could talk about barbecue all day. Same. But that's not why we're here. Let's talk about the confusion, I suppose, around Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the history of CentOS to some degree, and really the state of open source Enterprise Linux. Sure. What could you share? You've shared. We've had conversations. None of them so far recorded.

So... Help me demystify for those listeners out there. You work at Red Hat, to be clear. You are a principal software engineer. And you work on, what was it, the extras?

It's still available, right? Yep. For those who think it's not there...
