Dupa numeroase incercari de a obtine capital care sa sustina Compania Mandriva SA, Jean-Manuel Croset anunta pe blogul companiei o schimbare totala pentru Mandriva Linux: distributia va deveni responsabilitatea comunitatii.
Dear users, friends, fans and supporters of the Mandriva Linux distribution, after reviewing all your messages, suggestions, ideas and comments, Mandriva SA took the decision to transfer the responsibility of the Mandriva Linux distribution to an independent entity… We believe that this new approach is the best to achieve a better relation of Mandriva Linux with its community and to encourage the contributions that will lead to issue the best possible products.
In alta ordine de ideei Mandriva SA va ramane un sponsor al distributiei linux Mandriva, dar munca in ceea ce priveste dezvoltarea si lansarea sistemului de operare cade pe umerii comunitatii exact cum se intampla si la distributia linux openSUSE de exemplu. Procesul de tranzitie va dura cateva luni conform aceluiasi articol postat de Jean-Manuel Croset, timp in care sper eu sa aflam si cine va fi entitatea independenta care va gestiona distributia. Multa bafta !
