Tell us a little bit what happened +and what made you want to create this Mageia fork. +AN - This fork Mageia came a whole lot of uncertainties that reside in +Mandriva, I was myself employed by a subsidiary of Mandriva. It was felt +there had been 12 years of tremendous work performed on this distribution and +need to sustain this effort and we wanted to abstract from the presence +a company that had high and low economic level and we +decided to fork, ie resume distribution Mandriva Linux +one point from a copy simply because the license allows +and assembling a new project from there and only Community +within an association and the project is called Mageia +PN - so it's very fashionable because ultimately what you have done +people from the MySQL community did at the time of acquisition by Oracle, they +accepted the takeover by Sun, they have not accepted the takeover by Oracle, +we +learned yesterday that the OpenOffice community was doing the same thing +too because they do not agree with the direction of Oracle +So finally for those who do not know where all these terms, a +Forking is that you can resume the original source code +and create for the moment exactly the same thing, a true copy +? +AN - altogether, it does not reinvent the wheel, since I +mentioned earlier, we believe many technology integrated with +Mandriva Linux, we think it's really a strong point, but +it would work differently in the development of future +distribution +PN-Mageia So it'll be a 1901 association therefore non-profit? +AN - quite, +PN - built around the community, developers in fact, it is +community developers who are members of the association? +AN - then the members of the association will overlap with the full scope of +that affect people directly or indirectly to a distribution. It will be +developers, people who are packaging software, testers +translators, but also because today what users +The strength of a distribution is the ability of its community +users to promote the distribution so they have a +part quite predominant and essential in the association. +PN - So it begs the question why an association. You think +today is the best way to work together on a project +like this? +NA - found that the values of freedom today are that it can be +a little demanding on the necessity of sharing the sustainability of the +software, +etc.. and given the history and challenges of the time +Mandriva has been estimated that a community project was more appropriate and +the association is only there to regulate the use of resources +organization, so yes there is a community project but +organized in a lasting way. +PN - At the same time we must live, you were employed by a company that +working on Mandriva, you may have wanted to find a job and +back wages +AN - yes it would be nice +PN - it must be that all that great, how is what generates the income +fully associative structure? +AN - then the association is one thing, it produces a product that +Mageia which is called a distribution, we can consider a perfectly +commercial structure that will act in the periphery of the association and +will +based on the distribution called Mageia and will offer a whole +lots of service as support, consulting, development, thereby +help the company take this product has tremendous community +strength and integrate it into its array of solutions it may have. +PN - So now you're faced with a number of needs +urgent first need we will try to answer them all is to make +a bit of noise around Mageia because nobody knows. +AN - Nobody knows the outdoors in the little world of open source +I admit that we were very pleasantly surprised by the return because not +Mandriva only the present community has reacted to the announcement and +acceded but also because people using Mandrake at the time and +returning because he believes it is a little more to their +expectation that they and their vision of an open source distribution +PN - Be careful what is called the navel syndrome which +that people who know you and you know how difficult it is to +ensure that those who do not know you have the reflex to go +see Mageia rather because he must say things very clear shot of you +become a little competition from Mandriva? +AN-quite +PN - How is what you do to try to promote this +new brand, because it costs money as all that? +AN - is finally starting very small since the initiative was made very +short time, we launched an appeal for donations which currently meets +extremely well, we had solutions to enable us to host +our entire infrastructure, and we will try to sustain it in +companies adhering to the association, and finally it becomes +account that there are many users who understand that the +Free software is not necessarily free and that I can to support the +distribution rather than put a little money every month by +example since I know that this money will be used so +transparent and maintaining a number of value. We have many +returns on that front. +PN - And do you think that you will generate enough money +eventually pay people who will permanently work +distribution? +NA - Immediate not within the Association, cons in +a business structure that offer services can be more +Traditional here we can actually generate income and that income +may possibly be used to fund developments +additional distribution +PN - Very good transition, is what you have already thought about it +should evolve within Mageia that it continues to meet +required? At the same time Mandriva was in trouble for some time that +therefore may be missing a bit of development, is what you want +do new things? +AN - So yes, there are plenty of things we want to do lots of things. +Among others there is a huge strength is the control center, the +Linux Control Center and now it's to change the +rejuvenate because it's true that it is a little older and then +Why not move towards architectures that are increasingly +used as shelves for example, and can also switch to +openness to services like cloud, etc.. so all that they are +guidelines that will define in the coming weeks. +PN - You have a real functioning associations, participatory? +AN - quite, +PN - you will meet regularly? +AN - While meeting a little bit special as they will +because the virtual community Mageia is international, ie +it's a lot in Europe, South America, so in these cases we do +can not do real meetings, the fact remains that these are people who are +accustomed to working in that way, remote, so yes it will +meetings, as each interest group, we will have a board to manage +the association to make a strategic decision, especially so many +communication, perhaps what we missed. +PN - Okay, we hope to have made our small contribution, good luck +in this project +AN - thank you +PN - we will continue elsewhere if we want to know more the website is +AN - mageia.org +PN - thank you very much Anne Nicolas +AN - Thanks +</PRE> + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002846.html">[Mageia-discuss] Interview de Anne Nicolas pour Mageia [french] +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="002847.html">[Mageia-discuss] Interview de Anne Nicolas pour Mageia [french] +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2848">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2848">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2848">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2848">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
