+Hi everybody,
+
+Being one of the MLO reprentatative, If you wish I can make a
+presentation/pub of the French Mageia community that is MLO. A lot of you
+already knows MLO in the past, but there is no harm to advertise for the
+newcomers alike.
+
+So, ifm you wish me to do it, it'll be done this week.
+
+Just tell me in which part of the forum you wish me to do it.
