| 53 |
|
|

|
| 54 |
|
|

| 55 |

|
| 58 |
|
|

|
| 59 |
|
|

|
| 60 |
|
|
>
|
| 61 |
|
|
> * we announce/explicit both news on our side on Monday early morning
|
| 62 |
|
|
> (CEST) as well, in a single blog post embedding all Mandriva-related news:
|
| 63 |
|
|
> - on one side, Mageia is not going to join Mandriva foundation project
|
| 64 |
|
|
> (and why, cold reasons as we gave him),
|
| 65 |
|
|
> - on the other side, Mandriva is going to use Mageia as tech platform
|
| 66 |
|
|
> for its business server line (link) and contribute back.
|
| 67 |
|
|
> - this double news should make it more obvious that things are not so
|
| 68 |
|
|
> simple as "Mageia is dumping Mandriva" or "Mandriva is rebasing on Mageia".
|
| 69 |
|
|
>
|
| 70 |
|
|
> * this news being published Monday morning, it leaves two full days to
|
| 71 |
|
|
> propagate, before we push the Mageia 2 release news (Tuesday evening) -
|
| 72 |
|
|
> interest about Mageia will have raised a bit in the previous days, and
|
| 73 |
|
|
> this release news will hide partially the previous news.
|

|
| 75 |

|

|
| 76 |
|
|

|
| 77 |
|
|
> It's good news for Mageia as it makes Mageia ecosystem grow up. It will
|
| 78 |
|
|
> make things clearer for Mageia community now as many things were told
|
| 79 |
|
|
> about Mandriva future and community. Mageia keeps its own governance and
|
| 80 |
|
|

|
| 81 |
|
|
>
|
| 82 |
|
|
> So the next step is about communicating on these news. As said by Romain
|
| 83 |
|
|
> it has to be prepared and be ready very quickly as Mandriva announcement
|
| 84 |
|
|

|
| 85 |
|
|

|
| 86 |
|

|
| 87 |
