Gaël Duval (born 1973) is a French entrepreneur. In July 1998, he created Mandrake Linux (now Mandriva Linux), a Linux distribution originally based on Red Hat Linux and KDE.[1] He was also a co-founder of MandrakeSoft (now merged in Mandriva) 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.[2][3]

As of 2006, Duval is Chairman and Chief Technology Officer at Ulteo.[4] The company is bought by AZNetwork group in 2015.[citation needed]

In 2016, he co-founded NFactory.io, an incubator-accelerator of "startups".[5]

In November 2017, Gael Duval has created a mobile platform /e/[6] (/e/ is the symbol for "My data is MY data"), which is based on AOSP as a fork of LineageOS.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] In 2018, Duval created e Foundation for /e/.[14][15]

Education

Duval is a graduate of the Caen University in France, where he studied networks and documentary applications[citation needed].
