A new name for a Community Mandriva

Hello,

I am French, it is my only third post.

If Mandriva is restructured in two parts : an Anonymus Society, and a Community, I think it could be good that this last one should get a new name.

A name that reminds Mandriva, and that means something about "community".

That's why i suggest MANDALA.

cf Wikipedia :

"Maṇḍala is a Sanskrit word meaning "circle." In the Buddhist and Hindu religious traditions sacred art often takes a mandala form."

And the most important if we think about a community distribution :

"In common use, mandala has become a generic term for any plan, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically, a microcosm of the universe from the human perspective."

What is your opinion about this name ?

Mandriva is dead, long live Mageia.

The name definetely sounds good but I prefer sticking to the "Mandriva" name.

Very true! I am using the 2012 Tech Preview at the moment and it is very good indeed. It is shaping up to be one of the best Mandriva releases for many years.
