Nowadays users are looking for everything out-of-the-box
OMA might benefit of some donations from FSF, but
without users that install and use OMA , means that
openmandriva will be "another iso designed for vbox".
Now if the amount of those FSF donation would
be enough to keep OMA going , then you have my vote,
otherwise we are risking those few users that still
use omv.
Some numbers what out-of-the-box distro should be:
Hit on top: 1- multimedia ( mainly closed or plf)
2 stability/usability ( funny only on second place...)
3 networking and file sharing
4 games, and playing experience
5 look and feel
6 enduser support and updates

Hi Maik,
though I haven't a very strong opinion on this matter, "free" vs
"usable" when "usable" implies non free softwares, I think this
question should be seriously discussed between us. I mean, we should
have a clear public position on this point.

Do we qualify fully?
I must say that I had a second thought about aligning our distribution to
the Free Software Foundation guidelines. As far as the kernel is concerned
we would need to take out binary firmware blobs which would in that we need
to change the kernel and commit ourselves in using things like "gnash" as an
alternative to Flash Player.

In that respect I have taken a step back from this as people probably want
the best desktop experience. As we did a survey recently we might want to
include questions about "I prefer to have free software." vs. "I prefer to
have the best possible experience in installing proprietary software."
Have a good day,
Maik
