OpenMandriva is all about community. We are a community, and when we talk about community we are referring to programmers, contributors, users, partners, sponsors, mecenae, and all the people that in one way or another use our products, like us, support us, and contribute to our Association or its projects.

OpenMandriva is organized into Community Pods, each having a community delegate who interacts with the Association and helps in bringing the best from the community and coordinating the relations between Pod and Association.

Community Pods

A Community Pod is a form of community organization created by will of users and based on linguistic, regional/local or interest identity. Any type of community organization that applies to be officially recognized by OpenMandriva Association has the mission to help develop and evolve OMA and its products on the same levels.
