Hi everyone,
|
65 |
|
66 |
so, Anne and me got in a conf call with JM Croset a few minutes ago to
|
67 |
get a status.
|
68 |
|
69 |
He announced yesterday (Thursday, May 18)
|
70 |
http://blog.mandriva.com/en/2012/05/17/mandriva-linux-will-return-to-the-community/
|
71 |
. So several discussions are popping up here and there. Mageia's
|
72 |
position has been transferred to some people inside Mandriva, among
|
73 |
which Peroyvind (see
|
74 |
https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?p=18041#p18041 - although
|
75 |
he doesn't have the full story it seems).
|
76 |
|
77 |
He will announce early next Monday (22) that Mandriva SA will use
|
78 |
Mageia as a tech platform for its business server line, and contribute
|
79 |
back. Antoine Ginies (Mandriva engineer in chief for the business
|
80 |
server) will get in touch with us to see how we do this technically.
|
81 |
|
82 |
He worries that trolls and discussions may damage Mageia in the coming
|
83 |
days (for both news: Mandriva using Mageia as a tech platform for its
|
84 |
Business Server line; and Mageia not following Mandriva in its
|
85 |
foundation things) because he realizes that... community stuff
|
86 |
sometimes goes out of hand; but he reassured us that, whatever is
|
87 |
said, he does mean good for everyone; so it's important to play it
|
88 |
cool and neutral on our side too.
|
89 |
|
90 |
So, here's a suggested plan:
|
91 |
|
92 |
* we announce/explicit both news on our side on Monday early morning
|
93 |
(CEST) as well, in a single blog post embedding all Mandriva-related
|
94 |
news:
|
95 |
- on one side, Mageia is not going to join Mandriva foundation
|
96 |
project (and why, cold reasons as we gave him),
|
97 |
- on the other side, Mandriva is going to use Mageia as tech
|
98 |
platform for its business server line (link) and contribute back.
|
99 |
- this double news should make it more obvious that things are not
|
100 |
so simple as "Mageia is dumping Mandriva" or "Mandriva is rebasing on
|
101 |
Mageia".
|
102 |
|
103 |
* this news being published Monday morning, it leaves two full days
|
104 |
to propagate, before we push the Mageia 2 release news (Tuesday
|
105 |
evening) - interest about Mageia will have raised a bit in the
|
106 |
previous days, and this release news will hide partially the previous
|
107 |
news.
|
108 |
|
109 |
* until now, all this has been kept private in board-private: a)
|
110 |
knowledge and decision about the foundation, and b) business server
|
111 |
thing. Note that about a), people may question both the decision and
|
112 |
the fact that it was private, without consulting the Council. We will
|
113 |
mail privately Council members to inform them about both a) and b),
|
114 |
but still. We won't need further arguments than what we explained to
|
115 |
Mandriva, and what the governance says. But still again. In the case
|
116 |
of things getting really ugly in the coming weeks, I'd suggest that we
|
117 |
call for a vote of confidence to make things very clear (from Council,
|
118 |
or from all registered contributors in LDAP).
|
119 |
|
120 |
Sorry to make this quick, but we need to approve/reject/amend on this
|
121 |
before tomorrow Saturday (even better, this evening) so we can discuss
|
122 |
this with Council members in private too before Monday morning.
