Plan.

You use and enjoy Mandriva Linux and would like to contribute, but you don't have time to do so?

Then you can purchase our products or directly fund the project, here.

Why?

» To strengthen the means of the project team and contributors to build the platform and the Mandriva Linux system, servers, infrastructure, and critical upstream projects.

» To refresh the economic model of this Open Source project.

» To answer people that want to participate financially without being a customer.

You may as well read initial announce for more details and come discuss it in the forums.

What happens next?

We use part of the fund to fund Open Source projects that are critical to Mandriva Linux.

We hold a public quarterly report through Assembly, providing details on fund usage and partitions.
