# Statuts Mageia.Org / Mageia.Org Constitution

Mageia.org constitution ("Statuts" in French) were written and registered
in Paris, France in Fall 2010.

The reference version is the French one, available in mageia.org\_statutes_fr.md

This is the master version of the constitution of the association.
All other reprints should match and keep updated against this one,
hosted under [http://svn.mageia.org/svn/org/constitution/](http://svn.mageia.org/svn/org/constitution/).

You will find a reference to it from
[http://www.mageia.org/en/about/constitution/](http://www.mageia.org/en/about/constitution/) as well.

An English version of is made available for a larger reception of it in mageia.org\_statutes_en.md

We will try to maintain the English version as updates occur.
