Geez, I’m not even sure which cause you’ve diminished more

Pro tip: Whilst trolling, it’s best to depart from your usual username.
P.S. Ya want more?, take it to /r/linux.

Ideally, I would like to see Ubuntu Members play more of a role in having input without a requirement of being at UDS but that is likely wishful thinking. I do encourage you to continue to reach out to Canonical or ask questions wherever most appropriate for a proper response and thanks for your continued advocacy of FOSS.

Meanwhile, nouveau is slowly getting gpu fan speed control now, and it will take a while for them to support OpenCL, video decoding and other essential stuff people has got used to. By the time it works, Apple and Microsoft would have improved their Oses, so it seems like eternal catch up.

Microsoft is also winning on the DirectX front with the main 3d CAD software and all games supporting it as it makes them money, first because windows is where users are and second because DirectX improves and is simplified fast, making cheaper to support it that the obsolete mammoth OpenGL is (designed by committee and no party willing to give up obsolete functions for API cleanup and simplification). DirectX asserts quality too with makes companies tremendous QA savings.

Few companies could make software for Ubuntu as the almost infinite configurations will make support cost to skyrocket. Android is getting into phones and tablets because it works.

Ubuntu is too big to be on phones, but tablets are a very good space for it if we could find a way to change the UI for controlling standard menus and buttons with big capacitive fingers.

Nobody had solved the problem yet,(although MS is trying with ribbon menus and “intelligent focus”).

This is something that we could do better and innovate instead of just copying what works from Apple again.

Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot Quiz

fyi.

Probably something you have thought of and or done already, but.. with the new cables we should start seeing substantial price decreases in costs of internet usage, from a users viewpoint there have been some rumblings but no real WOW offers. Someone has to blink to get the local suupliers out of their comfort zones and start getting some real savings across to the consumers, this is something you could immediately impact possibly by simply rolling out a ‘plan’ which would cause the market to try to pre-empt you. Regards and thanks for making a difference!

Ubuntu Oregon LoCo is here at PuppetConf is you have any questions about puppet and Ubuntu we would be happy to discuss it with you although decisions like the one you presented are not something that Ubuntu Oregon is involved in making. Ubuntu Users have varying preferences for their Ubuntu Servers and Desktop and when it comes to customizing Ubuntu to meet your needs the options are nearly unlimited. Notably the PuppetLabs people are very supportive of local community to include Ubuntu Oregon and other FOSS UG’s.

What are you waiting for, get packaging!
