LinuxCon: Linux Success In the Key of Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Brockmeier's LinuxCon keynote "A Musical Guide to
| the Future of Linux," used his extensive knowledge
| of music to entertain and inform the audience about
| how Linux can be perceived through the lens of rock
| and roll.
|
| "Music is a way of bringing people together, because
| a lot of people get excited about it," he told the
| crowd. Brockmier wanted to take this approach
| because he believes the car analogy breaks down,
| especially when talking about Linux's future.

Shuttleworth: Don't Give Up the Linux Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Speaking at the LinuxCon conference late Wednesday,
| the Canonical founder pitched his approach for
| expanding Linux to provide a better user experience
| and broadening its appeal. The approach involves
| having a degree of cadence and coordination between
| projects and distributions, as well as improving
| quality and design.

LinuxCon: Shuttleworth's Three Methods to Improve FOSS Development
,----[ Quote ]
| Speaking before a combined session of LinuxCon and
| the co-located Linux Plumber's Conference,
| Shuttleworth drilled home the importance of these
| concepts in the Linux development ecosystem,
| particularly cadence.
|
| Shuttleworth has long maintained that if free and
| open source software projects can begin to sync
| their development cycles with each other, then both
| upstream and downstream developers (and, ultimately,
| users) will benefit. This is large part of the
| strategy behing Canonical's strict six-month release
| for the Ubuntu distribution and the 18-month Ubuntu
| Long Term Support (LTS) cycles.

Novell wants Linux to be a mainstream O-S
,----[ Quote ]
| As that doughty publication The Register reports,
| Brockmeier is one person who wants the Linux desktop to
| grow; others like IBM and the Foundation itself appear
| to be more or less content with the current state of
| affairs.
|
| Brockmeier sees mainstream success on the desktop as
| crucial, wants PC vendors to promote Linux "beyond
| offering it as a check-box in an order form" (El Reg's
| words) and exhorts Linux backers to work more closely
| to promote the operating system in toto.
|
| This, coming from the representative of a company which
| signed a patent licensing deal with Microsoft, seems a
| bit rich. One of the better known free software
| hackers, Jeremy Allison, even quit the company in
| protest at this act which was widely seen as a sellout.
