Open Source Projects and Corporations
,----[ Quote ]
| So, corporations support open source in order to make money. Duh! But, let’s
| think about who benefits: shareholders, employees, the company’s customers,
| and whoever uses the supported open source software. So, in the case of
| Yahoo! or IBM, or Sun, or Intel — is there anyone reading this post who isn’t
| among that group of beneficiaries?

Ubuntu Creator Reaches Out to Novell, Red Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| Shuttleworth’s goal is to ensure Ubuntu, Red Hat, Novell and other major
| providers have a blockbuster lineup of new, coordinated offerings in 2010.
| It’s Sunday, folks, so I’m not sure how Novell and Red Hat will react and
| they’re not available for comment. However, the announcement by Shuttleworth
| essentially tries to rally the Linux market to offer enterprises releases on
| a predictable two-year schedule (2008, 2010, 2012, etc.).

How Canonical Stays on the Light Side
,----[ Quote ]
| By focusing on enabling users, and keeping the commercial interests of
| Canonical separate from the interests of the community, Shuttleworth hopes to
| avoid the fate of another company who once upon a time was very interested in
| user enpowerment.
|
| "I think what ultimately went wrong... was the desire people have to win
| supersedes all else. As soon as you get that, then you get a sort of
| pathological level of behavior where people's actions and the decisions that
| they are making ensures they will continue to win," Shuttleworth said.
|
| That company? Microsoft.
|
| Clearly Shuttleworth does not to walk the same path as Ubuntu anCanonical
| become more successful with the passing days, and his company reflects the
| vigilance to avoid such a fate.
