+
+Hi everyone,
+
+This mail is not using usual council ML but group alias
+(council@group.mageia.org). Please keep it for current discussions.
+
+I'm mailing here the mail Romain sent to the board yesterday, following
+last discussions we had with Mandriva CEO, JM Croset.
+
+=================
+
+so, Anne and me got in a conf call with JM Croset a few minutes ago to
+get a status.
+
+He announced yesterday (Thursday, May 18)
+http://blog.mandriva.com/en/2012/05/17/mandriva-linux-will-return-to-the-community/.
+So several discussions are popping up here and there. Mageia's
+position has been transferred to some people inside Mandriva, among
+which Peroyvind (see
+https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?p=18041#p18041 - although he
+doesn't have the full story it seems).
+
+He will announce early next Monday (22) that Mandriva SA will use Mageia
+as a tech platform for its business server line, and contribute back.
+Antoine Ginies (Mandriva engineer in chief for the business server) will
+get in touch with us to see how we do this technically.
+
+He worries that trolls and discussions may damage Mageia in the coming
+days (for both news: Mandriva using Mageia as a tech platform for its
+Business Server line; and Mageia not following Mandriva in its
+foundation things) because he realizes that... community stuff sometimes
+goes out of hand; but he reassured us that, whatever is said, he does
+mean good for everyone; so it's important to play it cool and neutral on
+our side too.
+
+So, here's a suggested plan:
+
+ * we announce/explicit both news on our side on Monday early morning
+(CEST) as well, in a single blog post embedding all Mandriva-related news:
+ - on one side, Mageia is not going to join Mandriva foundation
+project (and why, cold reasons as we gave him),
+ - on the other side, Mandriva is going to use Mageia as tech
+platform for its business server line (link) and contribute back.
+ - this double news should make it more obvious that things are not
+so simple as "Mageia is dumping Mandriva" or "Mandriva is rebasing on
+Mageia".
+
+ * this news being published Monday morning, it leaves two full days to
+propagate, before we push the Mageia 2 release news (Tuesday evening) -
+interest about Mageia will have raised a bit in the previous days, and
+this release news will hide partially the previous news.
+
+===================
+
+It's good news for Mageia as it makes Mageia ecosystem grow up. It will
+make things clearer for Mageia community now as many things were told
+about Mandriva future and community. Mageia keeps its own governance and
+organization which are now working quite well.
+
+So the next step is about communicating on these news. As said by Romain
+it has to be prepared and be ready very quickly as Mandriva announcement
+is planned for sunday evening. Mandriva CEO will send us the draft of
+its own announcement so that we can check we all agree on the content.
+
+So now we have to work on the Mageia blog post which will be published
+on monday morning:
+https://pad.riseup.net/p/mdv-foundation
+
+native english speakers needed for proofread :)
+
+Waiing for your comments
+
+Cheers

+
+FYI, here's a copy of the answer sent to JM Croset about not
+participating to Mandriva foundation workgroup.
+
+Translation first, original in French below.
+
+Dear Jean-Manuel,
+
+thank you very much for this information and this invitation.
+
+Without regret or disdain, after discussion with other board members,
+I can tell you that we are not interested in joining this workgroup.
+
+- Mageia would have been the ideal collaboration hub for such an
+entity, to join and grow, precisely to play such a role; but it did
+not happen, probably because our governance rules don't fit
+[Mandriva's] Supervisory Board; so be it. We will not walk another
+road, this very governance has been defined as it is for very specific
+reasons.
+
+- we spent a lot of time, energy, conversations, to define Mageia on
+several levels. And we went on producing stuff, and regularly put
+things back to work.
+
+- we don't have much information about trends behind the future
+entity, what are the goals of each of the potential participants. Ours
+are public and clear since day 1.
+
+- we don't have the means (neither the wish) to disperse further our
+(small) means on a new thing to define and build, we think our
+priorities are elsewhere at this point.
+
+- this won't prevent each of us to collaborate, since our tools and
+technos will be Free Software.
+
+
+Feel free to share the above reasons, they will be the same if we are
+asked why we chose not to participate.
+
+And we wish you good luck, and temper, for this endeavour.
+
+----
+
+Cher Jean-Manuel,
+
+merci beaucoup de votre invitation et de cette information.
+
+Sans regret ni d=E9dain, apr=E8s discussion et m=FBre r=E9flexion avec les
+membres du bureau, je peux vous informer que nous ne sommes pas
+int=E9ress=E9s =E0 participer =E0 ce groupe de travail.
+
+ - Mageia nous aurait sembl=E9, a priori, id=E9al, comme hub de
+collaboration =E0 investir et grossir, pour remplir pr=E9cis=E9ment le r=F4=
+le
+d'une telle entit=E9 ; mais cela n'a pas eu lieu, probablement parce que
+le mode de gouvernance (point cl=E9 s'il en est) ne convient pas au
+Conseil de Surveillance ; dont acte. Nous ne nous engagerons pas sur
+une autre voie, cette gouvernance a =E9t=E9 d=E9finie pour des raisons tr=
+=E8s
+pr=E9cises.
+
+ - nous avons investi beaucoup de temps, d'=E9nergie, de discussions, =E0
+d=E9finir Mageia, sur plusieurs plans. Et puis nous sommes pass=E9s =E0
+l'=E9tape de production, et remettons r=E9guli=E8rement les choses =E0 plat=
+.
+
+ - nous n'avons pas beaucoup d'information sur les tendances qui se
+dessinent derri=E8re cette future entit=E9, quels sont les objectifs et
+les buts des uns et des autres. Les n=F4tres sont clairs et publics
+depuis le 1er jour.
+
+ - nous n'avons donc pas les moyens (ni le souhait) de disperser
+davantage nos (encore faibles) moyens sur une nouvelle entit=E9 =E0
+d=E9finir et construire, car nous pensons que nos priorit=E9s sont
+ailleurs =E0 ce stade.
+
+ - cela n'emp=EAchera pas, =E0 l'avenir, de collaborer sur le plan
+technique, puisque nos outils et technos respectives seront libres.
+
+Voil=E0. Sentez-vous libre de transmettre ces raisons, elles seront au
+c=9Cur de nos r=E9ponses si l'on nous pose la question de notre
+non-participation =E0 votre initiative.
+
+Et nous vous souhaitons bonne chance, et de l'=E9nergie, pour cette entrepr=
+ise.
+
+Bien cordialement,
+
+Romain d'Alverny
