#mageia-marcom Meeting

Meeting summary

1. market/comm team setup (rda, 16:20:57)
   
2. marcom roadmap (rda, 16:28:28)
   1. the main message of the release being: "we have a working build system and here is the first iteration of it, according to our roadmap, now let's improve on that" (leeloo, 16:36:54)
   2. still, in parallel with the project roadmap, the alpha release is here too to recruit new contributors (packagers, especially), perhaps developers (leeloo, 16:37:15)
   3. two main roadmaps: actual release of our first ISO (first alpha in January) + main project roadmap (rda, 16:37:23)
   4. and to show to outsiders that Mageia is actually on schedule and ships something (leeloo, 16:37:24)
   5. need to stress out that the alpha is not for evaluation and nothing else than a technical, developer release (rda, 16:38:11)
   6. so, the main roadmap about the project is to build it: FIRST explain what's in Mageia first: (leeloo, 16:44:18)
   7. 1. trust -> a meritocracy-based governance (board, council, teams, community) (leeloo, 16:45:16)
   8. 2. technology -> a Linux distribution (leeloo, 16:45:26)
   9. 3. a step-by-step process -> we don't know everything yet (what is our "unique" proposition, what should we do next year and in the 10 next years) but that will emerge from the community and from a few initial directions (leeloo, 16:45:36)
   10. 4. an international cooperative project: she who wants to improve it, can. just come in. (leeloo, 16:45:46)
   11. 5. it's not about building just another Linux distribution - but the Linux distribution is the basic corner stone. (rda, 16:46:23)
   12. the focus points, in order, are: (rda, 16:46:49)
