"Gael Duval, a co-founder of Linux seller Mandriva, is among employees
who lost their jobs at the company after it became unprofitable in its
most recent financial quarter."

The Ubuntu angle to the story:

"The company faces competition not only from better-established,
global companies such as Red Hat and Novell, but also from new
versions such as Ubuntu that can be downloaded over the Internet for
free."


Gael Duval was mentioned previously on Sounder when his FAQ
(http://www.indidea.org/gael/en/gael-answers.php) was published in
reply to Mark's FAQ (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarkShuttleworth)
