BitNami Adds Modules

,----[ Quote ]
| Previously, each piece of software you installed with BitNami was entirely 
| self-contained. For example, if you used their packaging to put both 
| WordPress and Drupal on the same server, you'd end up with two copies of 
| Apache, two of MySQL, and so on. While this made for easy configuration and 
| trouble-free installs, it also had the potential to waste a lot of disk space 
| and system resources.     
| 
| [...]
| 
| The new approach makes using BitNami to set up a corporate server with a 
| variety of open source software easier than ever.

Ubuntu creator wants to squash 'upstream' bugs

,----[ Quote ]
| The founder of the Ubuntu open-source operating system, Mark Shuttleworth,
| has called for Ubuntu developers to fix all software flaws found in the
| operating system, including, crucially, those in inherited source code.
|
| Shuttleworth, who runs Ubuntu's commercial arm, Canonical, said that most
| users expect developers of open-source distributions to fix bugs affecting
| the operating systems, even if the flaws were introduced in groups of files
| developed by other coders. Such groups of files are often referred to
| as 'upstream' source code.
