Hello,


Personally, i think it's way too soon to be talking about this, but since it's 
been brought up in threads a couple of times, i would like to state what i 
feel could be useful in relation to this.

A distro is used by alot of users, and sometimes also by companies. Companies 
using a distro are in favor of having support on it.

Instead of commercialising Mageia, i would propose that a page be provided by 
people who are willing to provide support on Mageia to companies. (more or 
less like debian)

I am not saying a separately branded enterprise version is off the table, i'm 
merely stating that at the start of this project, it may instill some 
confidence in our project if companies could see that some kind of support will 
be available.

It could be as simple as a page with a simple list of contributers(non-novice) 
stating that they (or a company they are in) are willing to provide commercial 
support for Mageia, with a link to their site with contact info for it.

It's just an idea, and after we have some kind of structure, this could be 
discussed.

just my 2 cents,

Maarten Vanraes
