+> Hi everyone
+
+Please try to add comments on all this, even if it's short. We need as 
+many feedbacks as possible until tomorrow on this mail and on pad
+
+Cheers
+
+>
+> This mail is not using usual council ML but group alias
+> (council@group.mageia.org). Please keep it for current discussions.
+>
+> I'm mailing here the mail Romain sent to the board yesterday, following
+> last discussions we had with Mandriva CEO, JM Croset.
+>
+> =================
+>
+> so, Anne and me got in a conf call with JM Croset a few minutes ago to
+> get a status.
+>
+> He announced yesterday (Thursday, May 18)
+> http://blog.mandriva.com/en/2012/05/17/mandriva-linux-will-return-to-the-community/.
+> So several discussions are popping up here and there. Mageia's
+> position has been transferred to some people inside Mandriva, among
+> which Peroyvind (see
+> https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?p=18041#p18041 - although he
+> doesn't have the full story it seems).
+>
+> He will announce early next Monday (22) that Mandriva SA will use Mageia
+> as a tech platform for its business server line, and contribute back.
+> Antoine Ginies (Mandriva engineer in chief for the business server) will
+> get in touch with us to see how we do this technically.
+>
+> He worries that trolls and discussions may damage Mageia in the coming
+> days (for both news: Mandriva using Mageia as a tech platform for its
+> Business Server line; and Mageia not following Mandriva in its
+> foundation things) because he realizes that... community stuff sometimes
+> goes out of hand; but he reassured us that, whatever is said, he does
+> mean good for everyone; so it's important to play it cool and neutral on
+> our side too.
+>
+> So, here's a suggested plan:
+>
+> * we announce/explicit both news on our side on Monday early morning
+> (CEST) as well, in a single blog post embedding all Mandriva-related news:
+> - on one side, Mageia is not going to join Mandriva foundation project
+> (and why, cold reasons as we gave him),
+> - on the other side, Mandriva is going to use Mageia as tech platform
+> for its business server line (link) and contribute back.
+> - this double news should make it more obvious that things are not so
+> simple as "Mageia is dumping Mandriva" or "Mandriva is rebasing on Mageia".
+>
+> * this news being published Monday morning, it leaves two full days to
+> propagate, before we push the Mageia 2 release news (Tuesday evening) -
+> interest about Mageia will have raised a bit in the previous days, and
+> this release news will hide partially the previous news.
+>
+> ===================
+>
+> It's good news for Mageia as it makes Mageia ecosystem grow up. It will
+> make things clearer for Mageia community now as many things were told
+> about Mandriva future and community. Mageia keeps its own governance and
+> organization which are now working quite well.
+>
+> So the next step is about communicating on these news. As said by Romain
+> it has to be prepared and be ready very quickly as Mandriva announcement
+> is planned for sunday evening. Mandriva CEO will send us the draft of
+> its own announcement so that we can check we all agree on the content.
+>
+> So now we have to work on the Mageia blog post which will be published
+> on monday morning:
+> https://pad.riseup.net/p/mdv-foundation
+>
+> native english speakers needed for proofread :)
+>
+> Waiing for your comments
+>
+> Cheers
