Hi everyone,
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.
* until now, all this has been kept private in board-private: a)
knowledge and decision about the foundation, and b) business server
thing. Note that about a), people may question both the decision and
the fact that it was private, without consulting the Council. We will
mail privately Council members to inform them about both a) and b),
but still. We won't need further arguments than what we explained to
Mandriva, and what the governance says. But still again. In the case
of things getting really ugly in the coming weeks, I'd suggest that we
call for a vote of confidence to make things very clear (from Council,
or from all registered contributors in LDAP).
Sorry to make this quick, but we need to approve/reject/amend on this
before tomorrow Saturday (even better, this evening) so we can discuss
this with Council members in private too before Monday morning.
