From great to excellent!

Quick update – deadline for submissions is November 30, so please let us have your contribution really soon!

Mageia 2 looks good – now let’s see what you can really do!

Before we look to Mageia 3, we would like to thank everyone who helped with the production of the artwork for Mageia 2. It was really great to work with all of you.

With Mageia 2 out in the wild, it’s time to turn our attention to  Mageia 3. Using what we’ve learned from the last 2 releases we hope, with your help, to make Mageia 3 really beautiful.

Our call now is to anyone and everyone who has anything to contribute: please get involved!

No matter whether you have finished artwork, a vague idea, a basic sketch… please share it, so we can all look at each others’ work, finish what needs finishing and build it into Mageia 3. We’re gathering ideas as much as we’re getting the final pieces done, so if your work is still  in progress, post it and tell us where you see it going.

We need: wallpapers, icon sets, themes, colour schemes or just your lovely constructive criticism.

Please remember: Any and all contributions must be original work licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-alike 3.0 license.

What to do and where to go to help:

We look forward to seeing your work and your ideas and welcoming you to the team.

PS: If you don’t want to sign up to flickr, you can either post links  to your artwork in the forum thread (see the link above), or send links  to the Atelier mailing list.

Thanks in advance!
The Mageia Atelier team

Mageia 1 reaching EOL

This is a reminder about the end of life process for Mageia 1.

Mageia 1 got the project off to a great start, and is soon heading for a well deserved rest.

According to our support policy every release is supported for 18 months which means Mageia 1 will reach end of life on the December 1st, 2012.

This means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates after that date. You are encouraged to upgrade to Mageia 2 to remain fully updated.

Please see here for more information on upgrading.

Troubles with the mailing-lists server

As some of you may know, part of our mailing-lists are still hosted on zarb.org server and we thank them for that. This server is having an issue at the moment and is unreachable. So for now following mailing-lists are unsusable:

  • mageia-dev
  • mageia-discuss
  • mageia-sysadm
  • mageia-i18n

We are waiting for more information. Stay tuned.

Update (2012/10/24): problem is now solved
