Mageia Blog (English) : Weekly roundup 2018, Week 11 and CLT!
19 de Março de 2018, 11:09 - sem comentários aindaVery small Roundup this week, so there will be space for the CLT report and pics – thanks Marc for writing this up!
Loads of updates through; as always, you can check for yourself on Mageia Advisories, the Mageia AppDB, PkgSubmit to see the last 48 hours, and Bugzilla to see what’s currently happening.
Review of Chemnitzer Linux Days 2018
As mentioned in a previous posting, we have been to CLT – now we’re back from Chemnitz and looking back on an amazing event.
We were there with four attendees at the booth, and we welcomed a lot of nice and friendly people, and had some interesting discussions. We brought back some insights from users from outside our channels: some of them reported rock stable updates and also installation of old hardware without any issues. This deserves a big thank-you to our packagers and QA, which are testing updates and isos also on very old hardware, which is honoured by the users.
However there is also some not-so-good news: we are not as well known in Germany as we would like to be. There are still a lot of people who know Ubuntu, RedHat, Fedora etc, some of them still know Mandriva from previous times, but the young people even did not know our ancestors. So what we can do to increase our degree of popularity?
Nevertheless we would like to thank the CLT team for this perfectly organised event (the exhibitors call it “Chemnitzer Catering Days (with Linux talks)”), the interesting talks and the opportunity to show our great distribution. See you next year…

Mageia AppDB – granular searches
When you first open MageiaAppDB and click on Updates in the left-hand menu, you see the default settings: 
But you can get lots more granular information using the set of drop-down menus across the top of the packages list:
First click More at the far right, and then you can apply a lot more filters to your search. For instance, to see what updates our kernel magician tmb has updated in Cauldron kernels recently: 
As you add more filters, you should see changes in your browser address bar, so you can also bookmark particular searches.
Enjoy!
Mageia Blog (English) : Chemnitz Linux Days 2018 – And Mageia is part of it.
3 de Março de 2018, 19:46 - sem comentários ainda
We are happy to announce, that, as in previous years, we will present our amazing distribution at the Chemnitz Linux Days 2018 (Chemnitzer Linux Tage, CLT) on the 10th and 11th of March. This is one of the biggest OpenSource exhibitions in Germany. This year also a very special year, as it’s the 20th anniversary. We are happy to celebrate this anniversary together, as we have been part of Chemnitzer Linux Days many times before.
This year’s slogan is “Everyone starts once” (original: “Jeder fängt mal an”) and we love this slogan, because it fits us in many ways:
- One of the Mageia’s goals is to be easy for beginners to start into the Linux world, yet provide many things experts will want.
- Also becoming part of our community, and starting to contribute to this magical community is very easy
- We also like to think back to those days when we started our community and distribution seven years ago. We started with a lot of passion but also faced some difficulties. We can look back and be proud of what we have achieved in all those years, especially without any company supporting us…
But back to the CLT: as always there are plenty of interesting talks, and a lot of amazing projects are showing their work and contribution to the open source community . Also for the kids there is a lot to discover. If you become interested in Linux and Mageia in particular, or if you are already an old hand in the area of open source, you are very welcome to come around and take a look at the diverse program.
