On my side, I think mageia should do a + "mix" of others idea.
+
+ I would say :
+ - A release every year.
+ - During this year, a way to update some popular stuff + (firefox, chrome, libreoffice...)
+ - During this year also a way to add some new package if + needed or if there is some instant success for a new software.
+
+ Every 3 years, the release is LTS and that mean it would be + maintain for 4 years.
+
+ So at the same time, mageia would be in 3 mode :
+ - The LTS
+ - The common release
+ - The cauldron.
+
+ With that kind of stuff, you should have no more than one + release for public at a time, and just one LTS.
+ If you update main software(we could define a list of no more + than 20 software) people who are crasy about new function, or + developper who need tham to develop new stuff would be happy.
+
+ BTW : I think mailing list are totally outdated and that + mageia should have a special section in this forum for these + discussion, or maybe another forum.
+ It's totally impossible for people who want to participate + sometimes to follow you emails everydays. It's much faster to + read some topic on a forum than dozens emails. And your final + user should be able to know what happen easily. It would be a + big + in front of others distributions.

+ Speaking as a typical "Joe Bloggs", all I'm interested in is + keeping my applications up to date with the occasional + distribution upgrade. I'm not interested in regular release cycles + because I feel that this leads to "rush-jobs", which in turn, + leads to bugs galore.

A Live CD which will provide all of this programs would be nice too. And we will need a little bit of advertisement to find new people and even children using this programs.

It would be useful if there were a nice user friendly way to + upgrade Blender when it is backported. Something to let ordinary + users know a newer version is available and a simple click to + upgrade it.

Look to Mageia App DB (in testing)

There is growing a good interface.

The link shows the update soon coming.

On my side, I think mageia should do a "mix" of + others idea.
+
+ I would say :
+ - A release every year.
+ - During this year, a way to update some popular stuff (firefox, + chrome, libreoffice...)
+ - During this year also a way to add some new package if needed or + if there is some instant success for a new software.
+
+ Every 3 years, the release is LTS and that mean it would be + maintain for 4 years.
+
+ So at the same time, mageia would be in 3 mode :
+ - The LTS
+ - The common release
+ - The cauldron.
+
+ With that kind of stuff, you should have no more than one release + for public at a time, and just one LTS.
+ If you update main software(we could define a list of no more than + 20 software) people who are crasy about new function, or + developper who need tham to develop new stuff would be happy.
+
+ BTW : I think mailing list are totally outdated and that mageia + should have a special section in this forum for these discussion, + or maybe another forum.
+ It's totally impossible for people who want to participate + sometimes to follow you emails everydays. It's much faster to read + some topic on a forum than dozens emails. And your final user + should be able to know what happen easily. It would be a big + in + front of others distributions.

I'm with Ahmad, going for beta for testing seems right. The beta
+release stage should be long enough for issues to be sorted so aurora
+isn't needed.
+

Ok Mozilla has the RC1 released. Final shall come on Tuesday 21st June so yeah we will include that in Mageia 2 I think (as least this one, maybe FF6 or 7 depending on which version will be available i think)
