It looks like something to bring Mageia community back to Mandriva.

I also agree we should not join this :
- it's not clear what this entity will be doing and why it is needed
- the Mageia.org governance model is good, we don't need an other entity
- it's free software so we can already share code with other
  distributions if needed, without joining a new entity
- joining this would confuse people about independance of Mageia

So I think we have nothing to gain by joining, and a lot we can lose.
