+ Mautic began with a single focus. Equality. The Mautic Community believes
+ in giving every person the power to understand, manage, and grow their business
+ or organization. Mautic is focused on helping this belief become a reality by
+ getting powerful, Open Source marketing automation software into the hands of
+ everyone.
+
+ When David Hurley (@dbhurley) began Mautic he had a big goal.
+ A plan to move horizons, and change the world. He foresaw Mautic as software made
+ by the people and for the people and as such the community became a top priority
+ and integral part. Those people interested in becoming involved in a community
+ with a vision to change the world should consider getting involved in Mautic.
+ People are the priority. Equality is the goal.
+
+ What is Marketing Automation The concept of marketing automation is not a new idea and the general idea of
+ automated marketing is one which most are familiar with, though the terminology
+ may be different. Hereu2019s a very brief overview:</p>
+
+ Marketing Automation
+ is a platform for saving time, eliminating errors, and improving efficiency for
+ a wide range of marketing tasks across multiple channels.</p>

-description: "OpenMandriva is a 100% community controlled Linux distribution.\r\n\
- With (as of December 2020) Plasma 5.20.4, KDE Frameworks 5.77, Qt 5.12.2 and LibreOffice\
- \ 7.1, it is one of the most current distributions available.\r\nOpenMandriva was\
- \ the first Linux distribution to switch to a clang based toolchain. In the current\
- \ version, even the kernel is built with clang 11.\r\nWhile the primary focus of\
- \ OpenMandriva is on the desktop, its repositories also contain a state of the art\
- \ server stack."
-
-showcase: "OpenMandriva is aiming at being easy to get into for newbies, while being\
- \ one of the most innovative distributions for developers. We were the first to\
- \ switch to the clang toolchain, and are working on new interesting developer features\
- \ for our 5.0 release.\r\nOpenMandriva can work on x86_64 systems as well as aarch64\
- \ (not sharing some other distributions' limitation to UEFI compliant aarch64 server\
- \ platforms), and can run as a desktop, workstation, server, or - since the advent\
- \ of OpenMandriva on PinePhone - smartphone.\r\nYou may want to pay us a visit if\
- \ you're interested in getting into Linux or you're looking for a project that can\
- \ use your help as a volunteer.\r\n\r\nOpenMandriva is not based on any other distribution.\
- \ Contributors who are so inclined can do more than just submit a new theme or add\
- \ an extra package."

-new_this_year: "OpenMandriva has come a long way in porting to new hardware: In addition\
- \ to the traditional x86_64 distribution and the extra version optimized specifically\
- \ for AMD Ryzen processors, OpenMandriva now runs on Pinebook Pro, Cubox Pulse,\
- \ various ARM devboards, and UEFI capable Aarch64 servers. A phone stack running\
- \ on PinePhone is in the works (and ready for initial use). A RISC-V port is also\
- \ in the works (presently running in qemu) and should be ready for daily use shortly\
- \ after we can get our hands on Hifive Unmatched boards.\r\nWith the 4.2 release\
- \ done, our main focus has moved to 5.0 - which will bring many improvements to\
- \ the core system, such as making crosscompiling and targeting multiple architectures\
- \ easier than ever.
