+</I>&gt;<i> into Mandriva we've missed from e.g PCLinuxOS. Also, a pure community
+</I>&gt;<i> based distribution is a great idea, as we're not always having the same
+</I>&gt;<i> goals as Mandriva S.A. Both would benefit from an arrangement like this.
+</I>&gt;<i> The community (Mageia) could serve the regular users, taking care of
+</I>&gt;<i> more personal needs and release a distro fitting these. And Mandriva
+</I>&gt;<i> could concentrate on becoming a direct competitor to Canonical and
+</I>&gt;<i> Redhat (possibly Novell or partners if they can work out the financial
+</I>&gt;<i> situation) and gain real foothold in the enterprise/SMB market. One of
+</I>&gt;<i> the prerequisites for this happen is of course that we acknowledge each
+</I>&gt;<i> others existence and collaborate. Meaning, we will all aid in the common
+</I>&gt;<i> development of Cooker, but be a completely independent entity from the
+</I>&gt;<i> company, making our own (community) decisions. But will still keep the
+</I>&gt;<i> good relations between us intact. So let's say Mandriva S.A funds (on of
+</I>&gt;<i> the donators, etc) the foundation which creates Mageia and thus securing
+</I>&gt;<i> their own interests through keeping the community alive, compensated for
+</I>&gt;<i> their contributions (which is very important to remember!). We'll leave
+</I>&gt;<i> if the situation is unsatisfactory (remember, we're highly independent
+</I>&gt;<i> people) and if a FLOSS project lacks the community it's doomed, so
+</I>&gt;<i> keeping us happy is the key to success. All this current pickering
+</I>&gt;<i> between former employees and current ones is just stupid and will damage
+</I>&gt;<i> both. So I say, let's call for a truce and work together in advocating
+</I>&gt;<i> FLOSS software.
