Manjaro Linux Graduates From A Hobby Project To A Professional Project
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
_**Brief: Manjaro is taking things professionally. While the Manjaro community will be responsible for the development of the project and other related activities, a company has been formed to work as its legal entity and handle the commercial agreements and professional services.**_
|
||||
|
||||
Manjaro is a quite popular Linux distribution considering that it was just a passion project by three people, Bernhard, Jonathan and Philip, which came into existence in 2011. Now that it’s one of the [best Linux distros][1] out there, this can’t really remain a hobby project, right?
|
||||
|
||||
Well, here’s good news: Manjaro has established a new company “**Manjaro GmbH & Co. KG**” with [Blue Systems][2] as an advisor to enable full-time employment of maintainers and exploration of future commercial opportunities.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### What is exactly the change here?
|
||||
|
||||
As per the [official announcement][4], the Manjaro project will stay as-is. However, a new company has been formed to secure the project and allow them to make legal contracts, official agreements, and other potential commercial activities. So, this makes the “hobby project” a professional endeavor.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to this, the donation funds will be transferred to non-profit [fiscal hosts][5] ([CommunityBridge][6] and [OpenCollective][7]) which will then accept and administer the funds on behalf of the project. Do note, that the donations haven’t been used to create the company – so the transfer of funds to a non-profit fiscal host will ensure transparency while securing the donations.
|
||||
|
||||
### How does this improve things?
|
||||
|
||||
With the company formed, the new structure will help Manjaro in the following ways (as mentioned by the devlopers):
|
||||
|
||||
* enable developers to commit full time to Manjaro and its related projects;
|
||||
* interact with other developers in sprints and events around Linux;
|
||||
* protect the independence of Manjaro as a community-driven project, as well as protect its brand;
|
||||
* provide faster security updates and a more efficient reaction to the needs of users;
|
||||
* provide the means to act as a company on a professional level.
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
The Manjaro team also shed some light on how it’s going to stay committed to the community:
|
||||
|
||||
> The mission and goals of Manjaro will remain the same as before – to support the collaborative development of Manjaro and its widespread use. This effort will continue to be supported through donations and sponsorship and these will not, under any circumstances, be used by the established company.
|
||||
|
||||
### More about Manjaro as a company
|
||||
|
||||
Even though they mentioned that the project will remain independent of the company, not everyone is clear about the involvement of Manjaro with the “community” while having a company with commercial interests. So, the team also clarified about their plans as a company in the announcement.
|
||||
|
||||
Manjaro GmbH & Co. KG has been formed to effectively engage in commercial agreements, form partnerships, and offer professional services. With this, Manjaro devs Bernhard and Philip will now be able to commit full-time to Manjaro, while Blue Systems will take a role as an advisor.
|
||||
|
||||
The company will be able to sign contracts and cover duties and guarantees officially, which the community cannot take or be held responsible for.
|
||||
|
||||
**Wrapping Up**
|
||||
|
||||
So, with this move, along with commercial opportunities, they plan to go full-time and also hire contributors.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, now they mean – “business” (not as the bad guys, I hope). Most of the reactions to this announcement are positive and we all wish them good luck with this. While some might be skeptical about a “community” project having “commercial” interests (remember the [FreeOffice and Manjaro fiasco][9]?), I see this as an interesting move.

Manjaro Linux 从业余爱好项目成长为专业项目
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
> Manjaro 正在走专业化路线。虽然 Manjaro 社区将负责项目的开发和其他相关活动，但该团队已成立了一家公司作为其法人实体处理商业协议和专业服务。
|
||||
|
||||
Manjaro 是一个相当流行的 Linux 发行版，而它只是由三个人（Bernhard、Jonathan 和 Phili）于 2011 年激情之下创建的项目。现在，它是目前[最好的 Linux 发行版][1]之一，所以它不能真的一直还只是个业余爱好项目了，对吧。
|
||||
|
||||
嗯，现在有个好消息：Manjaro 已经建立了一家新公司“[Manjaro GmbH & Co. KG]”，以 [Blue Systems][2] 为顾问，以便能够全职雇佣维护人员，并探索未来的商业机会。
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
### 具体有什么变化？
|
||||
|
||||
根据[官方公告][4]，Manjaro 项目将保持不变。但是，成立了一家新公司来保护该项目，以允许他们制定法律合同、官方协议和进行其他潜在的商业活动。因此，这使得这个“业余爱好项目”成为了一项专业工作。
|
||||
|
||||
除此之外，捐赠资金将转给非营利性的[财政托管][5]（[CommunityBridge][6] 和 [OpenCollective][7]），让他们来代表项目接受和管理资金。请注意，这些捐赠没有被用于创建这个公司，因此，将资金转移给非营利的财务托管将在确保捐赠的同时也确保透明度。
|
||||
|
||||
### 这会有何改善？
|
||||
|
||||
随着这个公司的成立，（如开发者所述）新结构将以下列方式帮助 Manjaro：
|
||||
|
||||
* 使开发人员能够全职投入 Manjaro 及其相关项目；
|
||||
* 在 Linux 相关的比赛和活动中与其他开发人员进行互动；
|
||||
* 保护 Manjaro 作为一个社区驱动项目的独立性，并保护其品牌；
|
||||
* 提供更快的安全更新，更有效地响应用户需求；
|
||||
* 提供在专业层面上作为公司行事的手段。
|
||||
|
||||
Manjaro 团队还阐明了它将如何继续致力于社区：
|
||||
|
||||
> Manjaro 的使命和目标将与以前一样 —— 支持 Manjaro 的协作开发及其广泛使用。这项工作将继续通过捐赠和赞助来支持，这些捐赠和赞助在任何情况下都不会被这个成立的公司使用。
|
||||
|
||||
### 关于 Manjaro 公司的更多信息
|
||||
|
||||
尽管他们提到该项目将独立于公司，但并非所有人都清楚当有了一家具有商业利益的公司时 Manjaro 与“社区”的关系。因此，该团队还在公告中澄清了他们作为一家公司的计划。
|
||||
|
||||
> Manjaro GmbH ＆ Co.KG 的成立旨在有效地参与商业协议、建立合作伙伴关系并提供专业服务。有了这个，Manjaro 开发者 Bernhard 和 Philip 现在可以全职工作投入到 Manjaro，而 Blue Systems 将担任顾问。
|
||||
|
||||
> 公司将能够正式签署合同并承担职责和保障，而社区不能承担或承担责任。
|
||||
|
||||
### 总结
|
||||
|
||||
因此，通过这一举措以及商业机会，他们计划全职工作并聘请贡献者。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，现在他们的意思是“业务”（我希望不是作为坏人）。对此公告的大多数反应都是积极的，我们都祝他们好运。虽然有些人可能对具有“商业”利益的“社区”项目持怀疑态度（还记得 [FreeOffice 和 Manjaro 的挫败][9]吗？），但我认为这是一个有趣的举措。
