Please don't hold the Mandriva community hostage because of personal bad feelings you might have about the Mandriva company. If Laprévote invites to collaboration to make a foundation, then this should be looked into regardless of your personal feelings. I think most of us would love a solution like Fedora-Redhat. The name Mageia and the foundation might be kept. But what good does it make to have a new Cooker, new build system or bugzilla? If collaboration between Mandriva and Mageia is possible, then please collaborate. When someone reach out a hand, don't turn your back on it. Instead you could indicate what you think would be needed in order to make collaboration possible. Just saying 'no I wont collaborate at all' makes this look more like a vendetta than a constructive initiative. Maybe this was a bit too harsh, but I guess you get the point :) - Jostein Hauge (jess) _______________________________________________ Mageia-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss
