Losses at Mandriva

Two Mandriva contractors - Adam Williamson and Oden Eriksson have announced that their contracts are being terminated. These two developers are responsible for a great deal of the work which goes into the Mandriva distribution; as Oden notes: "Someone, or a couple of people will get their hands full (or not) maintaining the 1200+ source rpm packages I currently maintain. This is mostly server related stuff. For example the (L)AMP stack, to my knowledge the most complete on the planet, constantly growing and alive." The Mandriva community seems less than pleased; an online petition has been launched in an effort to get Mandriva to reconsider in Adam Williamson's case.
