Interview with Daniel Holbach, Ubuntu Community Developer

,----[ Quote ]
| In the proceedings of the Ubuntu Developer Summit for Ubuntu 9.04, held at 
| Mountain View’s Googleplex in December, I read that “every Debian Contributor 
| is an Ubuntu Contributor”. Actually, the relationship between Debian and 
| Ubuntu showed good moments but some critical situations too, especially 
| around the problem of Ubuntu Developer not sending their patches back to 
| Debian. Do you believe that Debian and Ubuntu will always remain kind of half 
| brothers, or do you see a closer future for them?      
| 
|     We improved the situation a lot. Lots of patches are sent to Debian every 
|     week and we have lots of teams that are actively working together and 
|     coordinating development together. Actually we have a bunch of MOTUs who 
|     decided to go all the way to become Debian developers too. Of course this 
|     is not the route for everyone, but it’s great that we are having a 
|     greater overlap between both distros.     
| 
|     I don’t think we’re at a point yet where “everything’s perfect”, but I 
|     feel we’re getting closer and closer.

How does Ubuntu Linux differ from Debian?

,----[ Quote ]
| Bring up the topic of Ubuntu and you'll receive a mixed response from
| unexpected corners. No, it's not the Windows brigade, but the Debian crowd.
| So just how does Ubuntu differ from Debian to inflame such passion?
