Mageia is a GNU/Linux-based, Free Software operating system, supported by a nonprofit organisation (Mageia.Org) of recognized and elected contributors.
It started in September 2010 as a fork of Mandriva Linux.
Further than just delivering a free, secure, stable and sustainable operating system, the goal is to set up a stable and trustable governance to direct collaborative projects.
To date, Mageia:
- 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 its first stable release in June 2011;
- is on the path of delivering its second release in May 2012.
