spinynorman 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 The fate of Mandriva is still in doubt. A final decision was expected on 23 January, but the deadline has now been extended to 27 January. More at Ostatic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spinynorman 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 More from the Mandriva Blog today: Unfortunately, the bid proposed by the external entity has been refused by a minority shareholder and we cannot go for this solution. Fortunately, the financial situation – far better than expected – allow us to search for a new way to solve the current issue until mid-February. We’ll be able to count on the help of the Paris Region Economic Development Agency for this important move. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ianw1974 11 Report post Posted January 31, 2012 I think this minority share holder is a bit silly. I would have expected shareholders would accept funding to improve their financial position, rather than vetoing it, and possibly ending up with erm, nothing? :huh: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
banjo 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2012 Has anybody heard any more about this? According to their blog ( last updated Jan 30 ) they were supposed to get an answer by mid-February. Banjo (_)=='=~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

banjo 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2012 Silence is not a good sign. I am still getting tons of updates for the 2010.2 distro that I have installed on my machine, so I guess they are not totally gone yet. But no news is not necessarily good news in this case.
