00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Paris, oct - 2010
2
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:10,000
Hello everyone, welcome to the TV set of Open World Forum
3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
We will now turn to another topic with our
4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,700
new guest Anne Nicolas, Hello
5
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:15,700
(Anne Nicolas) Hello
6
00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:19,200
So you work for a community called Mageia
7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,000
Absolutely
8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,400
But then there are our listeners are saying
9
00:00:21,500 --> 00:00:23,000
"but never heard Mageia speaking,
10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
what is it that the promotion of this new thing"
11
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,400
is a Mageia fork of Mandriva?
12
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,400
Quite
13
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,000
It remembers Mandriva,
14
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:34,200
Mandriva I had left in my head a time when
15
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,000
there were many financial difficulties,
16
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
it was not well what it was going to give.
17
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,500
Tell us a little bit what happened
18
00:00:40,500 --> 00:00:43,000
and what made you want
19
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,500
to create this Mageia fork.
20
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
This fork Mageia came
21
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
a whole lot of uncertainties that reside in Mandriva,
22
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:57,100
I was myself employed by a subsidiary of Mandriva.
23
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
It was felt there had been 12 years
24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
of tremendous work performed on this distribution
25
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
and need to sustain this effort
26
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
and we wanted
27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
to abstract from the presence a company
28
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
that had high and low economic level
29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
and we decided to fork, ie
30
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
resume distribution Mandriva Linux
31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
one point from a copy simply
32
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
because the license allows
33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,500
and assembling a new project from there and only Community
34
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,000
within an association
35
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
and the project is called Mageia.
36
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,500
So it's very fashionable because ultimately what you have done,
37
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:44,200
people from the MySQL community did
38
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,000
at the time of acquisition by Oracle,
39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
they accepted the takeover by Sun,
40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,500
they have not accepted the takeover by Oracle.
41
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:52,000
We learned yesterday that the OpenOffice community
42
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
was doing the same thing too
43
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,500
because they do not agree with the direction of Oracle.
44
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:59,000
So finally for those who do not know
45
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
where all these terms, a Forking
46
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,500
is that you can resume the original source code
47
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:06,800
and create for the moment exactly the same thing, a true copy?
48
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Altogether, it does not reinvent the wheel,
49
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:10,100
since I mentioned earlier,
50
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,000
we believe many technology integrated
51
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,500
with Mandriva Linux,
52
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:18,700
we think it's really a strong point,
53
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,000
but it would work differently
54
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
in the development of future distribution
55
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,700
Mageia So it'll be a 1901 association therefore non-profit?
56
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Quite
57
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
built around the community,
58
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,400
developers in fact,
59
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:34,500
it is community developers
60
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:35,500
who are members of the association?
61
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:38,000
Then the members of the association will overlap
62
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
with the full scope of that affect people
63
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
directly or indirectly to a distribution.
64
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
It will be developers, people who are
65
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
packaging software, testers translators,
66
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
but also because today what users. The strength
67
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
of a distribution is the ability of its community
68
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
users to promote the distribution
69
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,000
so they have a part quite predominant and essential
70
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
in the association.
71
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
So it begs the question
72
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
why an association?
73
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
You think today is the best way
74
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,500
to work together on a project like this?
75
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,000
Found that the values of freedom today
76
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:23,000
are that it can be a little demanding
77
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
on the necessity of sharing
78
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:28,000
the sustainability of the software, etc..
79
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,000
and given the history and challenges of the time,
80
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Mandriva has been estimated that a community project
81
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
was more appropriate and
82
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
the association is only there to regulate
83
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
the use of resources organization, so yes there is a
84
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
community project but organized in a lasting way.
85
00:03:51,500 --> 00:03:54,000
At the same time we must live,
86
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
you were employed by a company
87
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
that working on Mandriva,
88
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
you may have wanted to find a job and back wages
89
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Yes, it would be nice.

00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
It must be that all that great,
91
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,500
how is what generates the income fully associative structure?
92
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,500
Then the association is one thing,
93
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:12,100
it produces a product that Mageia
94
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
which is called a distribution.
95
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
We can consider a perfectly
96
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
commercial structure that will act in the periphery of the association and
97
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
will based on the distribution called Mageia and
98
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
will offer a whole lots of service as support,
99
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
consulting, development,
100
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:32,000
thereby help the company take this product
101
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,000
has tremendous community strength
102
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:40,200
and integrate it into its array of solutions it may have.
103
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,200
So now you're faced with a number of needs,
104
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,000
urgent first need we will try to answer them all
105
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
is to make a bit of noise around Mageia
106
00:04:48,100 --> 00:04:50,200
because nobody knows.
107
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Nobody knows the outdoors in the little world of open source.
108
00:04:57,100 --> 00:05:00,000
I admit that we were very pleasantly surprised
109
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
by the return because not Mandriva only the present community
110
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
has reacted to the announcement and acceded
111
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:12,000
but also because people using Mandrake at the time
112
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
and returning because he believes
113
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
it is a little more to their expectation that they and their vision
114
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000
of an open source distribution.
115
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Be careful what is called the
116
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
navel syndrome, which that people who know you and
117
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000
you know how difficult it is to ensure that those who do not know
118
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000
you have the reflex to go see Mageia
119
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
rather because he must say things very clear shot of you
120
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,800
become a little competition from Mandriva?
121
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,000
Quite
122
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:39,700
How is what you do to try to promote this new brand,
123
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,000
because it costs money as all that?
124
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,000
Is finally starting very small
125
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
since the initiative was made very short time,
126
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,200
we launched an appeal for donations
127
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:56,000
which currently meets extremely well, we had solutions
128
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
to enable us to host our entire infrastructure, a
129
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:07,000
nd we will try to sustain it in companies adhering to the association,
130
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:14,000
and finally it becomes account that there are many users who understand
131
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,500
that the Free software is not necessarily free and
132
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:20,000
that I can to support the distribution rather than put a little money
133
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
every month by example
134
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
since I know that this money will be used so transparent
135
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
and maintaining a number of value.
136
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:32,500
We have many returns on that front.
137
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,000
And do you think that you will generate enough money eventually
138
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
pay people who will permanently work
139
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
distribution?
140
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:43,000
Immediate not within the Association,
141
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
cons in a business structure
142
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000
that offer services can be more traditional
143
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,000
here we can actually generate income
144
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
and that income may possibly be
145
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
used to fund developments
146
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
additional distribution
147
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:02,000
Very good transition, is what you have already thought about it
148
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000
should evolve within Mageia that it continues to meet required?
149
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
At the same time Mandriva
150
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
was in trouble for some time that therefore
151
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
may be missing a bit of development,
152
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
is what you want do new things?
153
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
So yes, there are plenty of things we want to do, lots of things.
154
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Among others, there is a huge strength is the
155
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:25,000
control center, the Linux Control Center
156
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
and now it's to change,
157
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
the rejuvenate because it's true that it is a little older and then
158
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000
why not move towards architectures
159
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
that are increasingly used as shelves for example,
160
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
and can also switch to
161
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000
openness to services like cloud, etc..
162
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,000
so all that they are guidelines
163
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,500
that will define in the coming weeks.
164
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,500
You have a real functioning associations, participatory?
165
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:55,000
Quite
166
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
You will meet regularly?
167
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,500
While meeting a little bit special as they will because the virtual
168
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:04,400
community Mageia is international,
169
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:09,500
ie, it's a lot in Europe, South America, so
170
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:12,000
in these cases we do can not do real meetings,
171
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:14,000
the fact remains that these are people who are accustomed
172
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
to working in that way, remote,
173
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:19,000
so yes it will meetings, as each interest group,
174
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
we will have a board to manage the association
175
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,500
to make a strategic decision,
176
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:27,000
especially so many communication, perhaps what we missed.
177
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,000
Okay, we hope to have made our small contribution,
178
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,500
good luck in this project.
179
00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:34,000
Thank you
180
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,200
We will continue elsewhere if we want to know more the website is

Thanks
