Google TechTalk by Mark Shuttleworth on November 9, 2006 at Ubuntu Linux Development Summit. (video)
.
Not really about technologies, but about organisational infrastructure of Open Source software project.
Interesting notes (not necessarily quotes):
- Open Source is new economics, culture, new way of producing software (Ubuntu is different from RedHat and Novell)
- Open community – because company is distributed, most of the employees work from home.
- Launchpad.net – community software development site knowing about other Open Source prohect developments (Apache, for example, being important part of Ununtu distribution), bugs, translations, source control, etc.
- Desktop will kick in when Dell will choose chip vendor (from vendors with the same price) based on their Linux drivers.
- “Kernel guys live on the tip – they’re not concerned about older systems.” (meaning that it’s fine for servers but bad for desktops)
- Check Google trends for Ubuntu
