    <h1>New Look. New CentOS.</h1>
    <p>CentOS has joined forces with Red Hat, working to provide a common platform for open source community project needs. <a href="http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2014-January/020100.html">Read our announcement here</a>, then come join the conversation on <a href="http://wiki.centos.org/irc">irc</a>, the <a href="http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/">mailing lists</a> or the <a href="https://www.centos.org/forums/">forums</a>.</p>
    <p>To help drive this common platform, CentOS Project has created a new official meritocratic <a href="/about/governance/">governance policy </a> with a focus on helping new projects grow and distribute a full-featured, easy-to-use environment.</p>
    <p>Groups such as OpenStack, Xen4, Gluster, and oVirt can now customize CentOS Linux directly <em>inside the project</em>, building CentOS variants for new workloads on top of the slow-and-steady core platform. <a href="/variants">Read more about the variants proposal&raquo;</a></p>
