if Mandriva goes belly-up on January 16th, as it looks by now.
BTW, will be there any kind of consequences for Mageia because of that?
I mean, are all the connections with Mandriva already severed?
Pardon my (likely) dumb question...

Well,let's make it short: everything was fine, but there is a big problem: a minor shareholder (Linlux) refuses the capital injection required for Mandriva to continue, even though the Russian investor had offered to bear it alone .
Except turnaround Mandriva should cease activity Jan. 16 (Sorry for the bad news, for those who did not already know).

I would not say "glad", this was sad at the time it was done imho, but optimistic to provide users with an alternative and, as you said, a community oriented (users, docs, supporters, dev, testing, marketing, Linux professional be it hardware vendors or hosting...) operation and initiative.
We're currently at crossroads (long ago announced), I hope the best for Mandriva firm (as a community - done my best^W^Wwhat I could - contributor, I wish the firm to do its best too, though I've long lost confidence, mainly once long-known interns lost their job too or changed job...). Mageia is not a Mandriva (the firm) replacement, only a continuation of Mandriva Linux (the distribution) imho, with our own ways, which may differ, in the interest of users (and what developers and supporter want), though for the best we can all achieve (community involvement being a great plus, like Debian GNU/Linux model if you follow what I allude to ).
