Well, have a look too at legal management for some issues, here is more of a page about artistic and Mageia promotion ;-) (in packages and release process)


Some information may have to be proposed upstream when needed, so that white label ("marque blanche") can be taken into account easily, though crediting appropriately the contributors at the same time.

Mageia Artwork or name in packages

main objectives
Identify changes between development cycle / release milestone (beginning with rc1 or rc2)
Permit OEM distribution and adaptation to enterprise deployment (for example).
To be checked : internal appearance of distribution (what is distributed, mainly artwork and process for announce) and external appearance (how it is distributed, mainly external communication with clear objectives and translations available)

cross-distro initiative
take into account cross-distro initiatives, promoted by http://freedesktop.org for example, see http://distribution.freedesktop.org
have a look at what is reused from FHS or LSB for example
http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=current#upcoming distrowatch coming distributions
http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=links#new (Mageia submitted on 2010-09-18)
http://distrowatch.com/stats.php?section=popularity
http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=package-management (perhaps pclinuxos or unity linux should use urpmi :p)
well, spreadmageia.org should be bought :-) (or spread.mageia.org may be suficient) and other communication initiatives like agenda.mageia.org or live.mageia.org or events.mageia.org

plymouth theme
or gdm or kdm...
for opening session or boot theme or shutdown/hibernate theme
enhance theme for coming back from hibernation or screen lock with login screen (or change session)

background theme
in several DE or WM ;-) be it kde4, gnome, xfce
remember to add specific screensavers
perhaps add specific window theme (like la_ora)

help or about pages

packages names
well, many packages have to be renamed (and content reviewed once artwork is chosen for the release).
I would suggest to rename those packages replacing mandriva by "distrib" :-) so that mageia can be "distrib"uted by anyone wishing to do it
