Interview with Adam Williamson - Mandriva Community Manager
,----[ Quote ]
| Adam: Instead, I focus on how to keep making the product better, and how to
| serve the users we have. I think it’s legitimate to view Linux as something
| for maybe 20 percent of the most technically inclined users who like to tweak
| and are curious.
|
| That leads one to the view that maybe what we have isn’t perfect for everyone
| in the world, but it’s a good product in its own right. It does what our
| users want, and we’re just going to keep refining it and focusing it and
| improving it and growing that group of people gradually.
|
| Everyone knows that Apple is never going to have more than 10 percent of the
| desktop market or something, but no one seems to think that’s a problem.
| That’s what Apple is supposed to be.

Talking with Likewise on GPLv3 and community management
,----[ Quote ]
| I’ve been watching Palamida’s tracking of GPLv3 (and LGPLv3) adoption over
| the last year with interest. It looks like adoption is moving at a
| reasonable, if not super-speedy, pace. However, not everyone is moving from
| version 2 to version 3. One company, Likewise, actually decided to move
| backwards from GPLv3 to GPLv2 and LGPLv2.
|
| Barry Crist is CEO of Likewise Software, a company that ships open source and
| proprietary software. Crist was kind enough to answer questions about
| Likewise’s community strategy, and why they moved from GPLv3 to GPLv2 and
| LGPLv2.

| the LUKS encryption system into the installer. What this means is that
| Mandriva 2009 will allow users to encrypt their partitions directly from the
| installer.

Living with Mandriva
,----[ Quote ]
| That’s pretty much all I’ve done. So far, nothing has crashed, Plasma has
| behaved itself and everything has “just worked”. Mandriva has made me forget
| that I’m using KDE 4, which is actually a good thing!
