Cuif: Mandriva in the storm
Mandriva developer community representative Frédéric Cuif speculates on Mandriva's future. "
In our case, Olivier and I have heard a lot about the proposed projects, disagreement and tension of employees and employees representatives of Mandriva are very strong. As it stands, Alexander Zapolsky [from Linagora] proposed the best project on social aspects and development aspects of the company, which will have to be of course confirmed in final draft to be submitted at the commercial court if option of a business transfer is possible. The others just wanted to use clearly Mandriva as a springboard to promote something else (enter the free market in particular) and the social aspect was sometimes nonexistent according to our sources. Mandriva is today more than fifty employees, both in France and Brazil and their future is capital." (Thanks to Eric Hermechals)
