Mageia is a GNU/Linux-based, Free Software operating system. It's a community project, supported by a nonprofit organisation of elected contributors.
Our mission: to build great tools for people.
Further than just delivering a secure, stable and sustainable operating system, the goal is to set up a stable and trustable governance to direct collaborative projects.
To date, Mageia:
- started in September 2010 as a fork of Mandriva Linux,
- gathered hundreds of careful individuals and several companies worldwide, coproducing the infrastructure (hardware and software), the distribution itself (developing, packaging, translating, chasing bugs, etc.), documentation, delivery and support, using Free Software tools;
- released two major stable releases in June 2011 and in May 2012.
