Mageia Blog (English) : Revised release schedule for Mageia 2
5 de Abril de 2012, 0:00 - sem comentários aindaAfter some discussions between the Mageia Council and the Packagers’ team, we’ve decided to make some changes to the Mageia 2 release schedule.
There are a couple of reasons for this, the main one being that we feel that the list of important bugs still remaining to be solved needs more time and attention before we release.
The bugs mostly relate to the systemd/dracut migration, and changes needed in the installer and drakxtools.
While we’re working on these bugs, our artwork and documentation and i18n teams will have a little longer to get everything polished and as near perfect as possible; we hope you’ll be pleased with the result!
We think you’ll agree that it’s more important to have Mageia stable, than to stick to the original release date.
Because we want to deliver the best-quality Mageia 2 release, we’re adding a third beta release, and pushing back the dates for the release candidate and the final release:
-
Beta 3, April 14th 2012:
- we’ll be relying on everybody to test this release thoroughly, so we can find and fix as many bugs as possible
-
Release Candidate, May 2nd 2012:
- this should have already achieved final release quality, and it will be the last chance for us to find and fix bugs before the final release,
-
Mageia 2 final stable release, May 15th, at last.
- Enjoy and celebrate!

Mageia Blog (English) : Board election results
30 de Março de 2012, 0:00 - sem comentários aindaIt was a little over a year since the first Mageia.Org board was
elected, so it was time to re-elect one-third as required by the Mageia
statutes.
Michael Scherer and Wolfgang Bornath have both resigned from their
board positions. We thank them both for their great work, and wish them
well. After their resignations, we had two positions to fill.
Following the election, we welcome Nicolas Vigier and Oliver Burger
to the Mageia board.
Last Monday the new board had its first meeting, and the first official
act was to elect the executive committee: Chairman, Secretary and
Treasurer. Outgoing office-bearers were Anne Nicolas, Chairman; Michael
Scherer, Secretary; Damien Lallement, Treasurer.
The election results were: Anne Nicolas, Chairman; Romain d’Alverny,
Treasurer; Oliver Burger, Secretary.
The board is now discussing how to promote Mageia in the coming year,
and how to make the association stronger in the long run.

Liberdade na Fronteira : New Mageia Repository in Physics Institute – Brasilia University
24 de Março de 2012, 0:00 - sem comentários aindaIn this last week I kept contact with professor. Felippe, which is a member of a professors group (with professors Portilho, José Eduardo, and Júnior) in Physics Institure, in Brasilia University (UNB), Brazil, that work with free software, and I provided some information to they create a Mageia mirror in university.
Today I bring this good news that we have more one mirror in Brazil/Latin America!
More infos about this mirror in http://mirrors.mageia.org/mirrors/mageia.fis.unb.br. It is updated from C3SL, Mageia Tier1 mirror in Brazil. I wrote about it in this post.
There is historical significance in this, because this professors group created the first Mandrake repository in Latin America, at the time of version 6 or 7. Who is or was a Brazilian Mandriva user, also may have received some softwares updates from UNB repository.
Interestingly, currently all laboratories in Physics Institute are using free software, and the Linux distros are Mandriva and Mageia.
