Actually, it seems that my refocus points [1] made things stop +somehow? We slipped out of schedule (first alpha is for this month and +we're headed for FOSDEM) and several events made things slower. The +divergence is still in some heads I guess and it needs to be precised. + +I can't speak for other founders; my point of view is that the +desirable marketing design effort in Mageia is not to target what +exists but in suggesting new stuff (products, technology, use-cases) +from what we can achieve already. That's easier said than done of +course. And that's not predictable at all. That's the point: working +for a Linux distribution project community, but to prepare a way for +something else/more than the desktop/laptop/tablet/server OS thing. + +So that requires first to see/understand what we can achieve as a +community. So that needs to focus first on contributors as they will +make the project go a long way, or not. Who are they? What do they do? +Why? What for? Who knows about that and who should be told about it? +[2] + +As long as we did not ship of very first stable release, we can not +aim to specific (known or unknown) use cases (reminding a discussion +about this a few months ago). + +Said more shortly, if we are to release Mageia 1 around April/May, +that will be a pretty generic LInux distribution platofmr, some more +specific packaging/release could be discussed then, but not +(officially) released before Mageia 2 (or it would be community +derivatives, but this could precisely to be coordinated in some way so +it gets full support later). + +[1] second/last part of +<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-discuss/20101018/002460.html">https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-discuss/20101018/002460.html</A> + +[2] that's a very shared concern with the communication team tasks, so +that's the reason of my point below, actually. Having the two teams +mix and work together to forge the communication strategy of the +project, toward itself first, toward outside followers, and then, when +we ship something, to its potential users. + +>><i> >  2. shall we hold an IRC meeting next week (if possible between +</I>>><i> > 9:00 and 15:00 UTC) on irc.freenode.net/#mageia-marcom to: +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Fine for me - any day is ok.
