A +</I>><i> pity, because we were full of energy and working hard and well. +</I> +Yeah but the direction it was taking at the time was not in sync with +the project state - that is, going too far, too soon. Talking to +non-users as of today (especially those not aware of Mageia or even +Linux) is important, and growing our user-base - although this needs +to scale with regard to the amount of contributors we do need today. + +>><i> What is the difference between an announcement to the community and +</I>>><i> one going to the outside world?

Not necessarily the best thing for the very but +something that promotes the core of the project: free software, +collaboration, commons - that's something that everyone can share, +geek or non-geek.
