"Mandriva Linux Assembly groups all stakeholders in an
environment conducive to communication and permits an exchange of
views across a broad band of subjects to enable a more
comprehensive understanding of the logic underlying the choice of
distribution and to promote a more collective approach to
decision-making. The Assembly's principal task is to sustain
communication between users, developers and the society inside
Community.
"Keep in mind one basic rule: even if Mandriva Linux Assembly is
a group of elected members who are the only ones permitted to
speak, all discussions will be public. Everybody will be able to
follow the debates, whatever technical solution is employed
(mailing-list archives, forums, RSS feeds...).
"Mandriva (company) proposes to communicate news and
developments on a set monthly basis through a dedicated
mailing-list (assembly-announce@mandrivalinux.org). The content
will depend on current activity: products roadmap, research
programs, global strategy, OEM and enterprise activity.. This
mailing-list can be read by all. It will run alongside
assembly-discuss@mandrivalinux.org which will allow Mandriva Linux
Assembly members to submit their opinions and ask for further
information on points raised during the discussions."
