Akhirnya, Mandriva Kembali ke Komunitas!

Akhirnya, Mandriva kembali ke komunitas. Setelah mengalami masa sulit yang berkepanjangan sejak pasca rilisnya Mandriva 2011 Hydrogen, kini Mandriva mulai menampakkan tanda-tanda beraksi kembali. Ya, semenjak bangkrut untuk kedua kalinya, terpaksa mengurangi jumlah karyawan, terpecahnya komunitas, lahirnya fork baru “Mageia” dan kegagalan mencari investor baru, kini Mandriva SA membuat sebuah keputusan penting dan menurut saya tepat.

Mandriva SA mengembalikan pengembangan Mandriva Linux sepenuhnya ke komunitas. Pengembangan tersebut akan dikoordinasikan oleh sebuah Dewan (board) yang dibentuk oleh komunitas dengan memberikan slot pengurus Mandriva SA didalamnya. Keputusan yang lahir tanggal 17 Mei 2012 yang lalu ini mendapat dukungan penuh dari komunitas Mandriva, tak terkecuali para pengguna dan pengembang distro Mageia.

Berikut kutipan pengumuman dari CEO Mandriva SA tentang hal diatas: (more…)

Mandriva Spring, has it rosy future?

It was over six weeks ago that rumors, later confirmed as true, circulated stating that Mandriva’s financial situation was so dire that it was considering buy-out offers to try to avoid having to close its doors. This news struck many Mandriva users and developers hard and all held their breath waiting for further news and the release of Mandriva Spring 2010.1. Although the final release of 2010.1 is still absent, news that Mandriva S.A. might be saved was met with sighs of relief and a healthy dose of skepticism.

News broke June 22 on the French technology Website, www.lemagit.fr, that Mandriva would neither have to be sold or closed due to the appearance of some private investors.
