+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Le 2010-11-01 01:13, andre999 a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Ah, I see. I guess at this point, we would have to have direction from
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> an SC member as to how to handle this situation. But, IMHO, we should
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> still keep the policies/guidelines as easy as possible as we would
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> like to get the distro into as many hands as possible.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Marc
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Good idea to have some sort of policy on non-official ISOs, but I would
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> only be interested, at least initially, in helping distribute exact
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> copies of official ISOs. And those will have checksums (md5 and/or sha1)
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> available on Mageia respositories and official mirrors, that anyone
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> could verify. (Very small files to download.)
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> We should make sure that we verify any official ISOs that we distribute.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I'm sure that is what the German community does.
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> - Andr&#233;
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I agree. I would also be only interested in distributing exact copies
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> of official ISO's. I believe this is what most people would be looking
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> for.
+</I>&gt;<i> I like the idea of double-layer DVDs, as Graham mentioned. Each layer
+</I>&gt;<i> would have its own checksum. (For DVDs we would use sha1, which is
+</I>&gt;<i> stronger than md5.)
+</I>&gt;<i> Even if Mageia produces only single-layer DVDs, we could reproduce the
+</I>&gt;<i> 32 and 64 bit DVDs, each on its own layer, each having the same checksum
+</I>&gt;<i> as Mageia.
+</I>&gt;<i> Ideally we would even print a label on the DVD, with the checksums.
+</I>&gt;<i> (Although my DVD writer can write double-layer, it can't write labels.)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Hey we could offer this on the Canadian Community site once it is up
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> and running.
+</I>&gt;<i> Exactly. The site should autodetect the language of the browser, so
+</I>&gt;<i> everyone (who bothers to set it) would see it in their own language.
+</I>&gt;<i> (As long as it is English or French, of course :) )
+</I>&gt;<i> Also links to Mageia, and other sites like MLO, etc.
+</I>&gt;<i> It would be nice to have a (bilingual) forum. :)
+</I>&gt;<i> It'll be kind of fun setting up a site - haven't yet done that.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Marc
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> - Andr&#233;
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>We should get together at some point and discuss the Canadian site a
+little more. Maybe sometime, I'll wear my Maple Leafs Jersey and you can
+wear your Canadiens Jersey and we could watch the Leafs lose to you
+again. LOL ... ahem ... I think the Leafs won the last match.
