The Mageia organization manages and coordinates the +distribution, code and software hosting and distribution, builds system, and +carries out marketing, fosters communication and events. [3] [4] + +The first release of the software distribution, Mageia 1, took place in June +2011.[3] + +According to DistroWatch, Mageia is the 7th most visited Linux-based operating +system on their site as of April 2012 and it is the third most visited RPM-based +Linux distribution behind Fedora and openSUSE.[5] + + +== History == + +On 18 September 2010, a group of former Mandriva employees and community +supporters announced that Mandriva Linux was being forked and a new community- +driven distribution would be created, called Mageia.[4] This action followed the +dismissal of most employees working on the Mandriva distribution when the +Mandriva-owned company Edge-IT was liquidated. The group explained that they "do +not want to be dependent on the economic fluctuations and erratic, unexplained +strategic moves of the company". + +== Versions == + +Mageia is released on a 9-month release cycle and each release is supported for +18 months.[6] +=== Latest version === + +The latest stable version is Mageia 1, released in June 2011. + +=== Development version === + +The development version of Mageia is known as Cauldron and is what becomes the +next release of Mageia.[7] + +== Goals == + +The following goals were listed in the organization's announcement on 18 +September 2010:[4] + + Make Linux and Free and Open Source Software straightforward to use for +everyone; + Provide integrated system configuration tools; + Keep a high-level of integration between the base system, the desktop (KDE, +GNOME, etc.) and applications; especially improve third-parties (be it free or +proprietary software) integration; + Target new architectures and form-factors; and + Improve understanding of computers and electronics devices users. + +== Name == + +The term "mageia" — μαγεία in Greek — means "magic" in English. It is a +reference to Mandrake (the magician), the original name of the Mandriva +distribution (Mandrake Linux).[8] + +== References == + + ^ [<A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Archive:Mageia_1_supported_locales">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Archive:Mageia_1_supported_locales</A> +"Archive:Mageia 1 supported locales] - Mageia wiki".
