[Mageia-discuss] Future of mageia

Wed Sep 22 11:54:13 CEST 2010

Before joining and making collebration with other projects we should
+work on our initial purpose and put at least a installable-usable
+distro in front of users. Then we can discuss such things. As i know
+PCLOS is now on a seperate and different basis than Mandriva. Only
+draktools are common. Also Unity is focused not on a desktop
+production but a core system and using rpm5 instead of Red Hat's rpm
+format. If we dive into those join-collabrate-produce a common distro
+discuss there will no Mageia but memories about a Mandriva based fully
+community dependend distro.
