(as a Web dev) + - focus in the project to help developers and contributors (tools, +resources, mentoring) + - technology stacks available and their integration status (perl, +ruby, python, php, others) - packaging of package managers (cpan, gem, +rvm, npm, pear/pecl, etc). + - small project, lots of things to do, room to invest yourself and +have an impact + - straightforward governance model + - friendly community, humane project + + 3. (asking the audience) questions? what is missing for you in +existing OS stacks? what could be done? (Q/A part of the speech +actually); so questions were (from memory): + q. why yet another distribution? what will be success like for +you? what difference? when? + => explained the first need to move the project into different +hands/governance - and that fragmentation is not a bad thing, or +something to fear, as long as one differentiate enough from others, to +explore different paths - paths to actually be defined _after_ Mageia +1, during the brainstorming session - so this answer was far from +convincing, of course. + + q. how many downloads/users have you already? and compared to Mandriva? + => very difficult figure to get in general; however, last +year, MDV could count about 3M users, all versions included; for +Mageia, we can't count users yet, our finale is not yet released - but +we've experienced about 60k downloads for alpha2/beta1 and we expect +to aim for 1M downloads for Mageia 1 over the year. + + q. speaking of packaging package managers, what is it about actually? + => tricky topic to discuss like that actually - took the +example of properly packaged (or not) typical PHP Web app (with Pear +library dependencies) or gems packaging - mostly only explained the +problem, depending on one's view (being a developer or being a +packager/sysadmin) and the need to find something satisfying for +everyone. Hinted about devops current movement, but with no practical, +generic solution yet. + +That was it. Apart from my preparation and speaking-skills to improve, +people seemed interested by the presentation (at least, those that +gave some feedback). + +Here you are. + +Cheers, + +Romain +</PRE> + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000317.html">[Mageia-marketing] Linuxtag Berlin +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000301.html">[Mageia-marketing] WebWorkersCamp presentation post-summary +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#296">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#296">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#296">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#296">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing">More information about the Mageia-marketing +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
