SCALE 6x trip report
,----[ Quote ]
| Jono Bacon, the community manager for the Ubuntu Linux distribution,
| delivered the morning keynote. He talked about the overlapping roles and
| responsibilities that communities, distributions, and corporations have in
| shaping the future of Linux and open source software. No single type of
| entity (neither business nor community) has the sole responsibility to
| deliver success, he said.
|
| In fact, he said, we might be talking about success in the wrong terms
| anyway, as if it were a state that could be achieved once and would persist
| forever. Instead, success is an ongoing process, characterized by recognizing
| opportunities and meeting them. Bacon concluded by talking about the
| relationship between Canonical and Ubuntu -- a business and a community
| working together to produce and maintain a Linux distribution -- and detailed
| some of the governance structures and processes the two entities use to keep
| their actions and interactions productive toward that shared goal.

Yesterday:
Survey finds Ubuntu is the fastest-growing Linux distribution

| SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux started out as
| equals in Alfresco's user base. No more. Ubuntu has clearly won over our
| customer base at SUSE's expense. My money is on Novell's deal with Microsoft
| as the culprit. Indeed, you can watch the deployments taper off in the data
| from the month that deal was announced.
