[Pardus-announce] Future of Pardus

[Ekin Meroğlu]

 Hi,

 As there has been several discussions on the future of Pardus Linux, I 
 wanted to clear things up a bit.

 Firstly, Pardus project is alive - despite the word on the forums and 
 mailing lists, the project is not closing it's doors. But it is fair to say 
 that we are reorganizing.

 As most of you know, Pardus is a project funded and supported by the The 
 Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK). As a part 
 of this reorganization process, TÜBİTAK plans to arrange a workshop entitled 
 "Future of Pardus". This workshop's aim is to determine the future of Pardus 
 and work on the the technical roadmap of the distribution. Following this 
 workshop, the new roadmap will be planned and announced.

 As we all know, reorganization of an ongoing project is a slow process - at 
 least, it is not as fast as we all want. We kindly request our fellow users 
 and contributors to be patient as this is an interim period.

 All the best,
 Ekin Meroğlu <ekin at pardus.org.tr>
