More food and football with Mark Shuttleworth
,----[ Quote ]
| On the last question (How did you build community where others failed?), Mark
| was very humble. He suggested the following reasons for Ubuntu's community
| support:
|
| 1. Choice of name...
|
| 2. Use of Debian (appeals to geeks), but made easy (appeals to everyone
| else).
|
| 3. Equal opportunity on the development team, or the importance of
| geographic spread...
|
| 4. Ubuntu opted to ship CDs...

| At this point, more than half-way to our goal date I wanted to give a status
| report. The initial growth of the project has been enormous. We now have
| more than double the number of Community Council approved teams than we did
| when we started. We have twenty-five teams in the process of being mentored
| and growing! The momentum has started. The framework is in place. It’s now
| up to you to help us finish and reach our goal!
