OpenMandriva Has Been Working On Their RISC-V & AArch64 Ports - Phoronix
▻https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OpenMandriva-AArch64-RISC-V

In addition to working on OpenMandriva Lx 4.0 as this distribution’s next major release with its roots tracing back to the legendary Mandrake, its developers have also been working on clean ports of this Linux distribution to other CPU architectures.

OpenMandriva has been working on expanding its focus from just Intel x86_64 to a good experience for AMD Ryzen AMD64 and ports to AArch64 and RISC-V too. They are doing since as “other CPU architectures are starting to be fast enough” for desktop/laptop use-cases and “monopolies are harmful.”

Channel #OpenMandriva available for users on Freenode IRC
▻https://www.openmandriva.org/en/news/article/channel-openmandriva-available-for-users-on-freenode-irc

The recent server shutdown has prompted me to remind all OpenMandriva users that we do have a channel on IRC where users can ask questions and present problems. Currently it is not being used much but we would like to encourage greater use. There are some developers that are logged in and will check things out periodically. So if no one responds right away just give it some time. This is a ‘general’ use channel for questions, comments, and problem solving. The channel is #openmandriva @ (...)

#General #2014.0 #OpenMandriva_Lx #WAOAUAAONR

Le développement d’une #distribution #linux, ou même de tout projet logiciel open source, est quelque chose de fascinant lorsque l’équipe du projet se rencontre physiquement.

Pour le lancement de la version finale d’#OpenMandrivaLx nous étions ce week end 15 personnes (et un chien) réunis à Prague, venant de 12 pays différents. Un des contributeurs, habitant en Inde n’avait pas pu nous rejoindre car son visa lui avait été refusé, malgré toutes nos lettres d’explication, invitations professionnelles et autres paperasseries ("not reliable documents" selon l’ambassade de la République Tchèque, satané espace Shengen).

Outre la joie de voir la première pierre d’un projet en marche, je ressentais l’étrangeté du contraste entre des personnes heureuses de pouvoir partager leur compétence dans un projet et leur inquiétude par rapport à la difficulté de la vie dans leur pays, qui se dévoilait en même temps que les langues se déliaient, dans une ville ou la bière est pratiquement moins chère que l’eau.

J’ai toujours été mal à l’aise par rapport à la notion de #tourisme, qui certes rapporte certainement de l’argent localement, mais aussi crée une sorte de barrière entre les visiteurs et les habitants. Certaines discussions m’ont malheureusement conforté dans cette impression...
