Hi everybody,

Being one of the MLO reprentatative, If you wish I can make a
presentation/pub of the French Mageia community that is MLO. A lot of you
already knows MLO in the past, but there is no harm to advertise for the
newcomers alike.

So, ifm you wish me to do it, it'll be done this week.

Just tell me in which part of the forum you wish me to do it.
