Ubuntu Business Model â A Misunderstood Concept
,----[ Quote ]
| Canonical, the business arm of Ubuntu, has one
| of the most promising business models in the
| Linux world, and also the most misunderstood.
| First of all, Ubuntu is in a market termed by
| economists as a perfectly competitive market.
| This means that it cannot charge any price
| beyond that which is determined by the market.
| The only way to make profit, as has rightly
| been identified by Canonical is to create an
| ecosystem of products and services around
| Ubuntu, which would complement the functions
| of the OS.

Canonical rents out Ubuntu mavens

| A PSE Ubuntu expert would working as a single point of contact for
| Canonical's larger customers, becoming "virtual team members" with the
| company's IT staff. Canonical says PSEs will provide regular technical and
| service reviews, share best-practice wisdom, and help companies optimize
| Ubuntu environments. Apparently, PSEs will even serve as advocates for the
| company for future Ubuntu releases.

Canonical Unveils The Ubuntu Software Store
,----[ Quote ]
| Well, those are the plans at least. As you can see from the screenshots,
| right now the Ubuntu Software Store is quite basic and really does not
| deliver anything new to the Ubuntu package management stack besides a
| simplified user-interface. The main screen provides icons for different areas
| (Accessories, Education, Internet, Office, etc...) while there are basic
| search capabilities, a list view when looking at packages in a specific area
| or the search results, and then a basic individual package view. Obviously,
| there is a whole lot of work left to be done before Ubuntu 9.10 rolls around
| and even more is ahead for future releases. Look for the Ubuntu Software
| Store to appear in Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 5.
