Jono Bacon on the Value of Good Communities
,----[ Quote ]
| James Turner: Let's start by talking about what is your role at Canonical
| these days?
|
| Jono Bacon: Okay. So my role is the Ubuntu Community Manager at Canonical. My
| job is to encourage and to enable the global Ubuntu community to do good work
| that's productive and that they enjoy doing themselves. I have a team at
| Canonical; we work with many of the different aspects of the Ubuntu community
| across translations, development, packaging--all manner of different
| things--to help people to really make the most out of their contributions to
| Ubuntu.

Interview with Jono Bacon - Ubuntu Community Manager
,----[ Quote ]
| I believe that today Ubuntu plays a critical role in the Linux ecosystem,
| primarily in that Ubuntu is bring legions of new users and contributors over
| to the Open Source family. We have seen massive growth in the user community
| in recent years, and the continued growth of Ubuntu on netbooks is continuing
| to expose Linux to new users via Ubuntu. I feel that Ubuntu has been the much
| needed on-ramp to bring many who are totally unfamiliar with Linux into our
| world.

Talking Community With Ubuntu's Jono Bacon
,----[ Quote ]
| OStatic: What is next for the Ubuntu community? Where would you like to see
| it go in the future? Are there any outreach efforts or events that you'd
| especially like to see pushed to the next level?
|
| Bacon: We are only at the beginning of a long and exciting road. While I am
| proud of the progress we have made in the community so far, there is still
| much to do. Every community is like a growing organism: it reacts to stimulus
| and change in its environment and changes accordingly.

The Ubuntu Linux community gets its first (second?) rock star
,----[ Quote ]
| You would think that it's a hard enough job taking on Microsoft's desktop
| dominance. Ubuntu's community lead Jono Bacon, however, may actually have an
| even more audacious goal in mind: completely change the economics of the
| music industry.

More From the Open Source Music Garage
,----[ Quote ]
| The thing many people don't realize is that successful musicians get most of
| their money from live performances, not album sales. Since the Severed Fifth
| album will be offered for free, sales of the album are irrelevant, and
| commercial success isn't a stated goal of the project. If Severed Fifth can
| simply create an enthusiastic community around an album, live performances
| might attract audiences and grow the community larger, though. It will be
| interesting to watch this effort.
