See Mandriva Blog.

In keywords: systemd booting, unified control center, only one DE (the rest is community developed), simplified installer, new package manager UI, RPM5 (see Per Øyvind Karlsen's blog post for more details on that) etc.

There's also an article on ostatic.com in case you don't know what some of these things are.

Finally, here's the full list.

Last Friday the newspaper Vedomosti reported that a Russian firm, NGI, has purchased a controlling interest in Mandriva. The Quintura blog published a short English language summary of the article today. NGI had previously purchased a 5% stake in Mandriva in July for an undisclosed sum as part of the €3 million financial rescue of the company according to the Vedomosti article. NGI and Ceychas Fund are investing an additional €2 million to acquire controlling interest, including purchasing shares currently held by two other investors.

TechFlash reports that in Microsoft's recent annual filing with the SEC, it listed for the first time Ubuntu's maker Canonical, and Linux distributor Red Hat as competitors to its Client division, which makes Windows. Previously, TechFlash says, Red Hat was listed but only as a competitor to its Business and Server & Tools divisions.

In its annual filing, Microsoft warns that Linux is a threat to Windows, particularly in emerging markets and for netbooks. It also warns that Apple is a threat, but it's said that before. The big news is the addition of Linux.

We are acutely aware that there are some spectacular designers that visits our website; we are taking submissions for original logo work.

This has been done before so I will replicate the rules from 2006:

1. It has to abide by board guidelines.

2. It cannot be more than 100px in height.

3. it must be in an industry standard format, with all layers visible (xcf, svg, png, psd, et al).

4. Must work with the colours of the default skin.

For showing your designs, it might be enough to submit a .jpg file for now. However, keep the source files on your hard disk or an extra cd or somewhere else backed up, as we will ask you for the sources once the competition is finished.

There will be a time frame on submissions that has yet to be discussed, but I imagine two weeks from now submissions will close.

This is your opportunity ... have fun :)

Paul.
