+Thanks for your note. You are absolutely correct.
+
+We are just in the planning stages of the marketing philosophy, so these 
+discussions are important feedback for the Mageia marketing team. We are 
+lurking the user/dev discussion groups and trying to pick up feedback as 
+well as asking questions to the community to gauge community expectations.
+
+We have to keep in mind that everything has to keep in line with our 
+values http://mageia.org/en/about/values/ posted on the site.
+
+It is a community distro and everyone's opinion counts.
+
+Tell us what you feel. We need to hear your opinions.
