Who is Gaël Duval?
Gaël Duval is a graduate of the Caen University in France, where he studied networks and documentary applications. In July 1998, he created Mandrake Linux, a Linux distribution originally based on Red Hat Linux and KDE. He was also a co-founder of MandrakeSoft with Jacques Le Marois and Frédéric Bastok.
Gaël Duval was responsible for communication in the Mandriva management team until he was laid off by the company in March 2006, in a round of cost-cutting. Duval suspected part of the reason for his dismissal was disagreement with management over the company's future strategy, resulting in a lawsuit against the company.
As of 2007, Duval is Chairman and Chief Technology Officer at Ulteo.
