We would like to get hold of Mark Shuttleworth with regards to the tranport project that was published in the newspaper yesterday - we have been involved in this for the past 5 years and have great vision for the business but have not been able to get the finance - please can we send our business plan for perusal.
Thanks very much,
Boris Miller and Rob Louw

Jumped into Ubuntu several months ago. I’m one of the poor people that wouldn’t ever be able to afford something this good. Much less have it delivered to his house in another country at that. So I just wanted to thank all those that have made my Ubuntu experience a pleasurable one. With that said I wanted to thank personally everyone from Mark to all the way on down to shipit.’s team in the mail room. Thanks !

[...] After the deal, many hard critics came from the community. Some stated that Novell had sell out. Others, wanted to hold the community together by embracing the displeased developers. This was the case of Mark Shuttleworth. He sent an open invitation to OpenSUSE developers, to join the Ubuntu team. Part of the community, like me, saw this as a support to OpenSUSE developers and an opportunity for Ubuntu to add very valuable developers. Critics to this action came mostly from members of the Novell community. Their statement was that this invitation would only make OpenSUSE situation worst. I think that is an excellent point, but misses to see the importance of the invitation. It was intended to keep OpenSUSE developers, willing to leave Novell’s surroundings, inside the community. Mark Shuttleworth’s invitation. [...]

[...] Mark Shuttleworth’s latest reaction is neither hostile nor approving although he did earlier incite OpenSUSE developers to defect to Ubuntu and can now be quoted as saying: “We have declined to discuss any agreement with Microsoft [...]

Some people complain because Ubuntu uses non-free drivers.
I propose to these people to be more constructive: join and help the “High Priority Free Software Projects”, see
http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/priority.html
instead of complaining to Ubuntu.

Just wanted to thank Novell for cutting a deal with M$, thus reinforcing their claims that Linux has infringed over 300 patents by paying royalties. Nice once Novell…….
