We're now +targetting end of January for that first alpha release. Teams are +still building themselves, especially those that will technically +contribute to the distribution. + +What we can improve right now is, more interaction/integration of the +marketing/comm' teams with the other teams of the project. At this +time, what is on the marketing/comm team plan would be: + * making sure everyone is on par + * vision/mission docs (there were drafts produced about this, any status?) + * working on the first alpha release process (that is targetted to a +very specific, small set of people) + * working on the next unstable release + * preparing the stable release (around April), after the first alpha +(that is, understanding what it will be, and how it can be released, +and for who, for what purpose) + * preparing a plan for further releases, later (with more specific +user targets) + +Moreover, that's a bit out of the topic, but I wonder how we may +integrate more marketing/communication/artwork/web teams together? +(not make a single one, but have people gather more among those) + +><i> How can I donate money? +</I> +<A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/en/donate/">http://www.mageia.org/en/donate/</A> + +><i> How and where can I meet Mageia Marketing people in real life and not just +</I>><i> the internet.

But. + +But first, the project focus is on _contributors_, as this is what +will make the project sustainable or not at first.

"Contributors" is a +small word for a large definition; see our teams on +<A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/">http://mageia.org/wiki/</A> . + +Second, the project focus will shift on use cases we can target with +our base distribution, and what projects can derive from that. The +goal is not to make yet another classic Linux distribution.
