Canonical CTO bites back at Linux Plumbers Conference keynote
,----[ Quote ]
| Matt Zimmerman, CTO of Canonical, is unhappy with Greg Kroah-Hartman, one of
| the Linux kernel maintainers, because of Kroah-Hartman's keynote at the Linux
| Plumbers Conference. The keynote, described elsewhere as a reworking a June
| presentation, makes a number of claims about Canonical's activity in the
| community, presenting various tables which showed Canonical not making many
| upstream patches and concluding "Canonical doesn't give back to the
| community".

- From Ghana to Wall Street: The Linux End User Summit
,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this year, at the urging of the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory
| Board, I decided to create a new event: the Linux Foundation End User Summit.
| The intent is to combine a small group of large Linux users (generally on the
| server side) with core community Linux developers. The result will hopefully
| be technical innovation and knowledge sharing between those who use the
| software and those who develop it.

Microsoft + Novell = Monopoly 2.0?
,----[ Quote ]
| But is Microsoft really so stupid that they would write a $100M check to prop
| up a message that nobody believes? I don't believe so, and I especially don't
| believe so given that nobody in the world of open source is asking Microsoft
| to keep propping up Novell. My conclusion, especially given the lack of
| response from Sam Ramji, is that Microsoft knows perfectly well what it is
| doing. Microsoft's good-faith effort at technology innovation, Vista, has
| failed, and so they are resorting to their true core competency, updated to
| the 21st century: Monopoly 2.0.
|
| Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Asay may be right
| that Microsoft is throwing away their money, in which case customers and
| shareholders may wish to be less generous sharing their money with Microsoft.
| Or Microsoft may be pursuing a new way to undermine open source--is that
| something you want to support?
