It's inevitable that Mageia would be claimed on some accounts.. a quick Google turned up 1 US business 1 guy on Twitter and a second with JA-Mageia..all on page 1 of the search http://sites.google.com/site/johnwellssr/home
Ouch! Is this a show stopper for the name mageia? http://mageia.com/ The domain was registered in 2001, with the ownership hidden by Domains by Proxy. The sites.google.com, and the "Recent Site Activity" link on mageia.com shows it's being maintained by "John Wells Sr". Note that the logo consists of the site name in a stylized script, with the phrase "Isn't it magic", as the "future Web home for Mageia Minerals of Chassell, Michigan". The site consists of a single page hosted on sites.google.com. The recent activity indicates it was all created July 26th, 2010. While mageia.org is not the same as mageia.com, I expect a lot of users are going to accidentally go to the wrong site. Is this going to be potential legal problem?
