Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris Howsoftwareisbuilt.com posted up an interview with Adam Williamson, Mandriva community manager and developer, covering some information on Mandriva development and also more general discussion on the distribution industry. I'd like to take the opportunity here to wish Adam, OSNews reader, the best of luck in finding a new job. Adam told us he'll be leaving Mandriva at the end of December. Please note that the above interview was conducted before this news was out.

Mandriva's biggest problem has been communicating its vision and its products appropriately.

I have been saying this for years. You can go back through my posting history and you will hear me making these very comments a few years back. They finally get someone who does a superb job of positioning the company as a friendly, easy to reach and talk to company and they fire him?

If you were any more blind, you would be wearing goggles painted black on both the inside and outside.

It's a shame because Mandriva is indeed one of my favorite distributions, but this makes me wonder about where it's actually heading.
