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