I'm not really sure why signing with the mandrake cooker key is of any
importance other than mildly symbolic.
and how would oma become a sub-project? Where is 'upstream' which
would become the true cooker?
I think if what you say is true regarding the future then obviously
there needs to be some frank discussion of the realities of the project
future. I think if you want to talk about a possible rebranding then
that's a different issue, but I don't think it requires a mutiny.
I think it would be best to just focus on how to improve things rather
than this harping back to disputes from years ago. We are where we are
now, and looking back is at best a diversion.

Hi!
This is something I've been meaning to write for a long while, and
most contributors has really wanted me to bring up..
Namely how this project since I was blocked from the project that got
hijacked and illegimately decided to denounce me as the project leader,,
And the consensus of majority of contributors, while also ROSA has
been very unsatisfied by the result (remember, we were about to merge
the two again before psychopats as Matthew Dawkins manipulated
everyone off-list in private and made this whole a chaos and the the
perfect distribution that was in the works, never materialized, which
OMV Lx became a huge disappointment compared to,,,
Also, which people like Kate are sincery dishonest about, is our
funding and her intentions about leaving in like three months as
Leonid Reiman is pulling out...
With the funds OMA has, this project will only be able to cover server
expenses for veryvery short time now...
So something needs to be done,,,
I personally have a 64 core system which outperforms the whole cluster
nodes, which I'll be sponsoring the project with, while trying to see
if I can get free hosting or at least a good price on...
Also, as OpenMandriva Lx, and "om.cooker" has abandoned all legacy and
trademark, and become irrelevant now, this project has no appeal to
much people, stability and usage wise I'm not even recommending it to
other...
So I propose that I assume the project leader role again (which
technically, noone took away from, this was handed to me by JMC
himself to take responsibility for, which OMA forced itself to take
these away, yet I never gave them...
Also with OpenMandriva Lx has been a disaster what name, trademark and
lacking any clear goals and purposes concerns, this needs to change.
Our history dates back almost 20 years, and is our greatest assetm
while OMA without even consulting cooker, decided that this would be a
new project, while "om-cooker" isn''t even considered as old cooker by
those, something WE, the project, and which we made a clear stance on
that WE controlled the project, NOT OMA which people might recall from
the grand metting back in 2013...
So given current situation, and that I know I have support from most,
even Raphaël who's has been so sorry for what happened and the
mistakes that wore, I propose taking the project leader role (as we
actually still lack one, I replaced Eugeni, noone replaced me) and
everyone who have long experience with me know that I'm just, have
integrity, longest experience with this project and know all of and
how things works..
Also with the OMV naming disaster, while not even recovered the
signing key, giving the righteous rights to our cooker project, which
I have in my possession,,
And on a related note, with Mandriva being liquidaed we have no legal
presence in control of the project, the trademark loss back in 2006 is
rather moot outside of France...
So in order to settle the the dispute, I'm wanting to name the project
back to Mandrake GNU/Linux (linux foundation has trademark on linux),
while signing with the true Mandrake key in order for us to claim
being the project (most people has started perceiving Mageia as the
true Mandrake heir, which is a total lie, they forked with desceptive
tactics and lies, they even trying to steal our projects, claiming for
themself to be the true upstream for all of our software projects,
which is plainly wrong)...
Notice however, I do not want to spoil the efforts people has invested
in OpenMandriva Lx, and as several among us has talked about
separating it to a subproject, with the true cooker being upstream.
Especially since OMV cannot be considered the same project, different
signing key and even changing version name to 3 (over almost twenty
year as a full blown community participated project, we obviously have
released tons of past releases..)
So I hope that people will support this, otherwise the inevitable end
is near,,
And pointed out above that I'll be sponsoring enterprise hardware,
with the current servers soon disappering I hope you all see that this
is the only way to save this project,,,
Would anyone protest against this?
If so, I'll be renaming moondrake to mandrake, while still keep
signing with the authentic Mandrake key in my releases and repos,,,
Well, I hope at least that I spark a discussion and brought up the
severity of the situation for people to fully understand in what
distress this project actually and also pave the ground for people to
discuss problems with project and what their unhappy with, Many people
are loosing interest and stopping to contribute...
Sincere Regards,
Per Øyvind
