Ars at Ubuntu Live: Mark Shuttleworth's keynote

,----[ Quote ]
| Much of the commercial interest in Ubuntu revolves around server support. 
| Although Ubuntu's server edition is still relatively new, Shuttleworth hopes 
| to continue promoting rapid adoption of Ubuntu on the server by focusing on 
| usability, a strategy that has helped propel Ubuntu to a position of 
| dominance in the Linux desktop ecosystem.

Tim O'Reilly and I at Ubuntu Live: Be different

,----[ Quote ]
| For instance, what would happen if Ubuntu succeeded in becoming the 
| dominant "L" in the LAMP stack? (Tim didn't cover this in his keynote, but 
| the question intrigues me.) Web 2.0 companies are in the habit of taking from 
| open source software and giving back selectively, if at all. As such, they 
| tend to build on the free (as in price) versions of MySQL and Linux. While 
| this might not be happy times for Red Hat and Novell (though MySQL seems 
| relatively happy with its Web 2.0 position), it can definitely serve as an 
| opportunity for Ubuntu.
