Description:
Members of the Manjaro Linux distribution's community have published
a " Manjaro2.0Manifesto "
that contains a list of complaints and a demand to restructure the project to provide
a clear separation between the community and Manjaro as a company. The manifesto
asserts that the project's leadership is not acting in the best interests of the
community, which has caused developers to leave and innovation to stagnate. It also demands a handover of the Manjaro trademark and other assets to a to-be-formed nonprofit association. The responses on the Manjaro forum showed widespread support
for the manifesto; Philip Mller, project lead and CEO of the Manjaro
company, largely stayed out of the discussion. However, he surfaced
on March19 to say he was " open to serious discussions ", but only
after a nonprofit had actually been set up.
