An Interview With lisati
,----[ Quote ]
| An interest in Linux, and Ubuntu in
| particular, came many years later. This was
| initially out of curiosity but later as an
| alternative to Windows for everyday use
| (email, surfing, basic wordprocessing etc).
| I started using Ubuntu regularly in 2007
| with the 7.04 release (âFeisty Fawnâ) and
| have had at least one machine with it
| installed ever since. The purists might
| wince, but I keep Windows around because
| Iâve paid good money for some Windows
| software with a feature set I like to help
| with video editing.

Meet Francis Lacoste
,----[ Quote ]
| Francis Lacoste recently started on a six-
| month stint of running the Canonical
| Launchpad team. It seemed like a good time
| to find out a little more about him.
|
| Matthew: How did you get into free software?
|
| Francis: It was 1996, with a few friends at
| university, we started an online cinema
| magazine and) I developed the first
| generation of the content management system
| for the site. I was looking to develop this
| as a âfree for non-commercial useâ software.
| Since my Mac at the time kept crashing
| (Internet and Apple didnât worked well), I
| looked into mklinux which was a Linux
| variant for Powermac. And then I stumbled
| upon the GNU Manifesto. This made so much
| sense to me, that I ditched the âfree for
| non-commercial useâ and became a GNU head.

| 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.
