My private opinion is that Switch - an educational organisation - +has made a mistake here. + +That means that mirror sites do watch + - the size of software they keep + - the usage of the corresponding mirror + - the "relevance" of that software. + +It may be a good idea if Mageia initially focuses on getting support +from some few well-placed mirrors who can be convinced that Mageia is a +promising "startup" distro and merits goodwill in a pump-priming spirit. +I guess the language groups could help establishing contacts. + +To come back to my Switch experience: I have still good relations with +their management; at that time, doubts about Mandriva were spreading and +I did not have the necessary arguments for a discussion at that level. +This will be different once Mageia is established and has a "good image" +and a distribution anounced for date xxx. Is it worth while to have a +small group of "advocates" who are mandated by Mageia to talk to mirror +sites and discuss which sites to contact? If that helps (and offloads +the people who do "everything"), I am willing to participate and help). +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="001701.html">[Mageia-discuss] Mageia Mirror size +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="001712.html">[Mageia-discuss] Mageia Mirror size +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#1709">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#1709">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#1709">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#1709">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
