The Official Mandriva Blog

Pixel will be leaving Mandriva on February. We would like to take the opportunity to thank him for his commitment and endeavour whilst at Mandriva and we wish him every success in his future activities.

«After many years at Mandrake/Mandriva, I’m leaving. I’m moving to one of my first loves: functional programming languages, far away from perl and system programming. For this I had to accept to go to the dark side, write proprietary software. Life is tough!I left behind many (too many?) lines of perl, but i’m currently pouring my brain into some folks: “pterjan” for diskdrake, “titi” for some part of DrakX, and a shiny newcomer, “teuf” for urpmi and various things… New eyes on old code can surely help having better code   », said Pixel.

Christophe Fergeau is joining engineering team and will have the big task to take part of Pixel activity. Christophe is not unknown in free software community and contribute to GNOME (iPod support in Rhythmbox).
