><i> I like the idea of releasing when ready. Its done when the team thinks its
</I>><i> ready and not because its being demanded by end users. In Linux Mint this
</I>><i> does alot of good because of having to clean up after ubuntu so much. The
</I>><i> releases are much more stable and polished. The way clement lefabre likes
</I>><i> it. And everyone who uses it is usually satisfied with the end product.
</I>><i>
</I>Well this is theway it seems we are going to, some people proposing 9 months
release depending on release dates of main softwares. Anyway whatever the
choice, it's obvious that we will not release final one if this is not
stable enough.
><i> As for being in the news more, we dont have to put out a release just to be
</I>><i> able blog about whats going on in the mageia community and remind everyone
</I>><i> why mageia is special. But this must be the case because theres rarely any
</I>><i> new news posted in mageia blog unless a release is coming out. Thats getting
</I>><i> about as lame as these messages in this mailing list telling people they
</I>><i> sent their message to the mailing list wrong.
</I>><i> What is this distro really about? One upping mandriva and following the
</I>><i> same mechanical routines they did to piss you guys off, or building a real
</I>><i> community distribution of gnu/linux that cares more about keeping in touch
</I>><i> with the community than they do about the way someone new sent a mailing
</I>><i> list message. Theres more to a linux community then mailing lists.
</I>><i> At first I was excited about using mageia, and being a part of the
</I>><i> community. Now im dissappointed because I see how you treat people that are
</I>><i> not on the team. Basically like their opinions
</I>><i>
</I>Not at all. everyone can subscribe mailing- lists. The point is Mageia is a
young project and we cannot afford for now at least to spread efforts on
forums and mailing-lists and blogs... People still sleep during the night.
It may not be perfect but it's a start. Our points is just to try to get all
opinions in a same place, that's all.
><i> (that you ask for) dont matter, and you are only concerned with the proper
</I>><i> submission of mailing lists messages. Get someone on the blogs and start
</I>><i> talking to the rest of the community the way they deserve. I agree with the
</I>><i> gentleman leaving the mailing list. This isn't worth sticking around for.
</I>><i> Time to remember why you started mageia in the first place.
</I>><i>
</I>Of course we are opened to any of your proposals and ideas and contributions
to improve all this :)
Cheers

</I>><i> one place and allowing the updates to trickle down is so hard?
</I>><i> > It almost seems to me that you want to ask the opinion of people, but
</I>><i> don't want to hear.
</I>><i> > And what is this posting here? I don't even know how to use this thing
</I>><i> and yet I had to signup to get my voice heard because this is the way you
</I>><i> want to do things? I don't understand where the whole community fits into
</I>><i> this here right now, I think I actually say a lot when I say that many
</I>><i> people want a rolling release.... It just seems the developers will have the
</I>><i> way here... Why ask in the first place? Really?
</I>><i> > I am leaving the list and sorry about the HTML in my emails, must be a
</I>><i> yahoo thing because I did not use HTML... Again I don't know how to use this
</I>><i> thing and should not have been forced to.
</I>><i> > I would also say that I, for 1 will not be staying if you are going to do

</I>><i> hopes of switching to this with a release model that made sense... But it
</I>><i> seems we won't and we will just become yet another XXX release cycle
</I>><i> distribution with no clear anything that sets us apart from X.
</I>><i> > On you, I'm gone and thanks for hearing me and sorry if my postings were
</I>><i> done wrong....
