Time to get going – to Berlin!

Linuxtag logo

18th Linuxtag is coming up on May 23rd to 26th, 2012 in hall 7.2 at the exhibition ground in Berlin, Germany.

For almost two decades this international event with the motto “Where .com meets .org” has been drawing speakers, exhibitors and visitors by the thousands from all over the world and offers the usual wide selection of keynotes, conferences and talks beside a large exhibition of commercial and non-commercial companies and projects.

As we did at last year’s exhibition, Mageia.Org and MandrivaUser.de will share a booth in hall 7.2, B #207. You will find well known people of the Mageia world like marja, magnus, TeaAge, doktor5000, wobo and others presenting the brand new Mageia 2 and ready to answer all your questions. On Friday and Saturday Mageia users will be also be welcomed by ennael, boklm and obgr_seneca.

Will you be anywhere near Berlin on those days? Make sure you stop by and say hello to us!

PS: In a couple of days the electronic ticket counter will open. People in need of a cost-free ticket may contact wobo or obgr_seneca via forum pm or mail.

Almost there: download Mageia 2 RC – new date for final release

Here we are. After some delay, Mageia 2 RC is available for the last tests before the final release. We’ve included a lot of bug fixes to the installation and upgrade since the beta 3 release and we hope it will give you a very nice experience with Mageia.

More information on this last development release:

This is the last chance to test and report feedback about any problems you may encounter with this future release. We need you!

As a consequence of the RC delay, the final release will be postponed to the 22nd of May to give us enough time to manage RC reports and build the final ISOs.

Thanks again for your patience and stay tuned!

Last run for Mageia 2: test beta 3!

For some days the suspense was at its height. We are now happy to deliver this beta 3  release which is the very last beta version for Mageia2. Lots of work has been done on release blocking bugs, final design is nearly all integrated and we now wait for all your feedback.

Beta 3 comes with all the planned media: DVDs, dual CD, live CDs. We especially need feedback on live CDs to improve them for RC release.

As usual you can find more information on beta 3 here:

Warning: If you are working on a laptop with both Intel and ATI graphics hardware have a look here, if you are having trouble with Nvidia graphic hardware using live CD, it’s here.
We are working on this issue to solve it before RC.

Time is short before RC, about 2 weeks. Download it, test it, and use Bugzilla.

Enjoy!
