No, isn't ironic, but every communication is a failure because of too may factors in the way (language, culture, each own reality and values, and so on...) So my message is the perfect example why a communication is a failure: because I'm not a native English speaker, you cannot cover all the details which provoke that some people do not understand properly the message. Personally, it's a shame to have two or more local communities (not to say weird) and proves that things don't go well. In this case, a local community must be agreed by the official board, if not there'll be chaos and not good for Mageia's image. But indeed, you cannot prevent people to fork :) As far as we're (Romanian community) concerned, for the time being the "standard package" is perfect for our needs! And how can you be nearest to the main Mageia community than that? Just in the middle of it! I doubt that we'll ever need more :) Historically we always confirmed that the union makes the power. Better invest your effort in a greater community, much chances of success, than waste it locally with no continuity. I saw so many projects or people that fork in a minority that disappeared/discontinued with the time. They lost time, money and they got only frustration.
