+Salut Marc :
+
+I'm down to start contributing as a packager for Mageia, so if I have 
+the time I'll try packaging LibreOffice for Mandriva cooker.
+(It'll be the first time, but I've already installed the rpm building 
+packages.)
+I've already been helping kill a few LibreOffice bugs.
+
+Note that Mandriva has Go-oo, not the official OOo of Sun/Oracle.
+It looks like Go-oo and LibreOffice will complement nicely -- Go-oo more 
+experimental, both more open to community contributions than the 
+official OOo, which insists on copyright assignment.
