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.

Vincent is staying; he was briefly included in the list of people who were having their contracts ended by mistake.
To my knowledge, there's three people leaving: myself, Walt Pennington (who worked on corporate user relations in the U.S.), and Oden Eriksson (who maintained, oh, a whole bunch of stuff.)
