14223	Please change the Mandriva name on the rpm page to OpenMandriva	itchka		"Hi, I am the president of the OpenMandriva Association, this body was formed from users and developers of Mandriva prior to their final bankcruptcy. It was formed with the purpose of legally passing on the source code of the OpenMandriva distribution into the hands of the OpenSource community. 
The OpenMandriva association creates and distributes it's own OpenMandriva OS created from this sourcecode. We want very much to keep the name of Mandriva alive under the auspices of the OpenMandriva Association and one of the ways we can do this is to ask you whether you would change your current web pages to show OpenMandriva rpm packages rather than Mandriva and to change the name part of the rpm filename from mdv to omdv. We are more than happy to support you with updated rpm spec files for the builds. Since sadly Mandriva is no more and the web pages should be changed anyway to reflect this point in history it is felt that this might be the best time to ask for your help and cooperation.

I was advised on the admin/moderation forum that here would be the best place to make the request

This web page from the founder of Mnadrake/Mandriva may be of interest.
