The Mageia blog talks with David Walser, about his work in Mageia. "I stumbled into my current role at Mageia completely by accident. I had upgraded my sister’s laptop from Mandriva 2010.2 to Mageia 1, and noticed one Mandriva package left on the system because it had a newer release tag than the Mageia package. The reason was because Mandriva had done a security update for the package, but when it was imported into Mageia, the release version was imported rather than the updates version. I was concerned about other security updates that might have been missed, and began investigating this. I started filing bugs for missing security updates and helping the QA team test updates that got packaged, to help the updates get released more expeditiously."
