Glad to know he finally +contacted you about this. + +I'm already one of the regular support providers in the Slackware +forums. I think a Mageia forum at LQ is a great idea. + +I brought this up before here... but it went nowhere. That's when I took +it to Jeremy. I'm glad we're paying attention to it now :) + +I'm interested in this, but will continue to use my own account which +has been registered w/LQ since 2003. Let me know how you would like to +proceed in that regard. + +On another note, Oliver and Josh brought up the notion on this list that +taking advantage of this opportunity might 'split' the support efforts. +IMO, and after years of experience as a contributing supporter at LQ, I +can offer this bit of wisdom to consider: + +1.) People are going to go to LQ regardless for support, because that's +what happens there, it's the place where it happens on the Internet - +even if it's for a crappy distro like ubuntu, who also has their own +forums there at LQ. + +2.) People get support from real UNIX people at LQ. The kind of support +that isn't always available in distro specific forums at each respective +distro's home sites. + +This is because many of the problems that people have, regardless of the +distro they are using, often are only remotely related to the distro +itself, and more to do with the software that someone is having problems +with. + +When someone comes to a Mageia for problems with, for example SANE, +they're going to get a Mageia-centric take on the issue, while the +problem may be with their scanner, or SANE itself - a problem commonly +solved at LQ but would not even be addressed by an available HCL at the +Mageia site. + +That's just one example. + +3.) Exposure, exposure, exposure. My Mageia reviews at LQ were well +received, well read by many, and drove probably hundreds, if not +thousands to Our Mageia downloads... probably resulting in many new +users of our distro. + +So let me know how you would like me to proceed as an offical support +rep for Mageia to obtain our own distro forum at LQ (which is an +opportunity I really don't think we should pass on. + +Just my two cents. I hope it helps :) + +Kindest regards, + +- -- +Bradley D.
