What's interesting is his idea of coordinating distros, so that the pressure moves on to the upstream developers: if you want to get into the next mega-release, you'd bet get coding....Glyn Moodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436885795882611585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-88510872471621004342008-05-15T15:49:00.000+00:002008-05-15T15:49:00.000+00:00I don't think comparing Ubuntu & Windows developme...I don't think comparing Ubuntu & Windows development really works too well. Microsoft put the features they are going to implement on the table and then try to get something out that matches the feature set.<BR/><BR/>Ubuntu is a collection of pieces cobled together from other places and integrated. If a particular feature is in the pieces as they are assembled great, if not no big deal they'll get it next release.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying one is better than the other, it just isn't the same thing so it seems pointless comparing the relative timeliness of delivery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-82450634212438904602008-05-13T08:14:00.000+00:002008-05-13T08:14:00.000+00:00Well, I think his point is that he's engaged in me...Well, I think his point is that he's engaged in meta-development: that is, at the distro level.Glyn Moodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436885795882611585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19798349.post-59965089670277302882008-05-12T23:21:00.000+00:002008-05-12T23:21:00.000+00:00All very well, but it sounds like Shuttleworth is ...All very well, but it sounds like Shuttleworth is trying to justify the fact that Canonical does very little upstream development, as compared with the other distributions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
