&gt; I posted this message a while back, but never received a response,..<br>
&gt;</p>
<p>hi richard </p>
<p>just checked and it looks like contact washington done. anyway boklm will mail you tonight about this <br><br><br></p>
<p>&gt; We, LinuxCabal, have our servers at CloudSigma in Switzerland. I was writing to them yesterday and mentioned that Mageia was a fork of Mandriva and that the Mageia team might benefit from server space as follows:<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt;  As you may know, Mandriva is in a state of flux due to financial<br>
&gt;  considerations and may cease to exist.  As such, Mageia has forked<br>
&gt;  out by the original developers of Mandrake/Mandriva and has gathered<br>
&gt;  most of the original developers on the new team.  As such they are<br>
&gt;  looking for places where they can set up their CVS servers as well as<br>
&gt;  mirror sights to host the distribution, the first version of which is<br>
&gt;  due in June.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;  I have managed a local copy of the Mandriva Distribution here at<br>
&gt;  LinuxCabal for years which our users can access from our local<br>
&gt;  internal net to install and to update from during our weekly Install<br>
&gt;  Fests.  Each version uses about 100G of disk space.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;  I mention this to see if Cloud Sigma would want to host a site for<br>
&gt;  them. I think that it would possibly be a great source of<br>
&gt;  promotional advertising for you.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;  If you are interested, I can put you in contact with the correct<br>
&gt;  people at Mageia or LinuxCabal can actually manage the sight with<br>
&gt;  little or no change to our present configuration.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; They responded as follows:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;  In terms of Mageia, I think this sounds like an interested<br>
&gt;  opportunity and possibility to collaborate. Please feel free to put<br>
&gt;  them in touch with me in order to see how we might assist them.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; This came from Robert Jenkins whose email is <a href="mailto:robert@cloudsigma.com">robert@cloudsigma.com</a><br>
&gt; Robert is in a position to donate server space.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Their service has been been excellent.<br>

&gt;&gt;&gt; Hi,<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; I know -dev team doesn&#39;t exist yet, but in spite of that: some of us may be<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; needed.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Yesterday in the packaging meeting[1], misc and Stormi talked about the<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; 3days they went to a Cross-Distro App Installer Meeting[2]. As far as I<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; understood, our involvement in AppStream[3] is 4 part:<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;  - mageia-app-db would like to use the metadata to display on the site.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;  - sophie would like some of the metadata too.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;  - mageia could work on making packagekit support work (it does not replace<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; rpm or urpmi in any way, it is cross-distro and just delegates the work to<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; urpmi (in our case).)<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;  - mageia would then package AppStream in the distro. (Nothing is being<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; said as being used by default: Note that AppStream only does Applications,<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; while eg: rpmdrake installs packages).<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Since this concerns mostly packaging, it has had a start-discussion in the<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; packagers&#39; meeting.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; However:<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;  - mageia-app-db (Stormi: PHP) would like some help.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;  - sophie (Nanar: Perl) would like some help.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;  - packagekit support (misc: Perl) would need to be finalized.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; ( requires intimate knowledge of perl-URPM )<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;  - someone will have to package AppStream eventually.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; afaik shikamaru would help with sophie, so i think that is covered.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; So this leaves:<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;  - PHP for mageia-app-db<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;  - Perl-URPMI related stuff for packagekit support (i might have some time<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; for this, not sure yet)<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Now then, if there is anyone from -dev team who is inclined to help out,<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; please, tell us :-)<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Regards,<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
