Shuttleworth heir opens up on Ubuntu biz
,----[ Quote ]
| With the economy coming out of recession
| and the appetite for new devices growing
| and Canonical's pushing into larger deals,
| the company will most likely resume the
| kind of growth it had between 2007 and 2008
| in 2010. Of course, this is all
| speculation, as is the supposition that
| Silber moved up to CEO and Asay was brought
| in as COO to keep Canonical growing and
| presumably to push it to profitability so
| the company could go public. Canonical does
| not need to go public to get backers to
| fuel its growth, and it is hard to imagine
| Shuttleworth giving up the company to
| investors before it has reached a higher
| value than it would have even a year or two
| from now.

Ubuntu Without a Human Face
,----[ Quote ]
| The big news out of the Ubuntu world this
| month is the radically refurbished look
| introduced to accompany Lucid when itâs
| released in April, replacing the orange-
| brown âHumanâ theme that Ubuntu users have
| known and lovedâor notâsince 2004. Hereâ s
| a look at the new face of Ubuntu, with an
| attempt at abstract thoughts related to it.
|
| Ubuntuâs traditional theme never enjoyed
| universal acceptance. For some users,
| earth tones just didnât look right on an
| LCD display. For others, there wasnât
| enough contrast between colors.

2 year cadence for major releases: some progress
,----[ Quote ]
| Even though the idea of formal alignment
| between the freezes of Debian and Ubuntu
| didnât hold, there has been some good
| practical collaboration between the
| maintainers of key subsystems. There are
| real benefits to this, because maintainers
| have a much more fruitful basis for sharing
| patches when they are looking at the same
| underlying version.

Testing The Different Ubuntu 10.04 Kernels
,----[ Quote ]
| For testing out the three Ubuntu kernels
| and three latest mainline kernels we used
| one of our test systems that had an AMD
| Opteron 2384 Quad-Core 2.7GHz "Shanghai"
| processor, a Tyan Thunder n3600B (S2927)
| motherboard, 4GB of ECC Registered memory,
| a 64GB OCZ Agility EX SSD, and an ATI
| Radeon HD 4870 graphics card driving a Dell
| S2409W 24-inch LCD display. We performed a
| clean installation of Ubuntu 10.04 using a
| daily development snapshot from 2009-03-13
| that was running with GNOME 2.29.92, X.Org
| Server 1.7.5, xf86-video-radeon 6.12.191,
| GCC 4.4.3, and the default EXT4 file-
| system. All testing was done with 64-bit
| kernels and using the Ubuntu amd64
| installation.

The new Ubuntu look
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu has really missed the boat on this
| one. They have the underlying technology to
| take their Linux distribution way ahead of
| the pack. Instead they tinker with a few
| colors and call it a day. Make a statement
| Ubuntu! If you want to really make an
| âImpressionâ donât think, for a second,
| those new âthemesâ will do just that.

Ubuntu 10.04 Icons Re-Coloured Purple...

| With the familiar brown tones of Ubuntu of

| in the recent re-branding, the
| 'purplification' of the default icon set had
| to occur sooner or later.

Ubuntu 10.04 To Hang Onto Old Intel Driver
,----[ Quote ]
| With Ubuntu 10.04 being a Long-Term Support
| (LTS) release, Canonical is just going to
| stick with Lucid Lynx being the last release
| where Intel user-space mode-setting is
| supported, albeit for most Intel users you
| will still be greeted by a KMS experience,
| just with an older driver and many back-
| ported patches. This decision was shared on
| the ubuntu-x mailing list.

Ubuntu 10.04 Gets New Logout Dialogues
,----[ Quote ]
| Did you ever get annoyed by the
| restart/logout/shutdown countdown timers
| that presented themselves in previous Ubuntu
| releases?
|
| [...]
|
| All three main 'session' dialogues have been
| reworded thus allowing the user to make an
| informed choice as to whether the action
| selected it the one they want.
