The Grumpy Groundhog - Ubuntu for Developers

Here is a quote from their site: 'Upstream development in the open source world moves at a tremendous pace. Many developers like to keep up to date with specific upstream products, but the work involved in building from CVS every day is substantial. With The Grumpy Groundhog Project, Ubuntu provides those developers with a ready source of packages containing the latest upstream code. '"

    How to have a release that gets only 7 comments in one hour on Slashdot: Give it a foolish-sounding name.

    Why not go all the way and call it the "stupid idiot" release? Why not have a distro called "You are a moron if you try this Linux".

    It would be good if open source developers would learn the rudiments of communication. It's sad when they are self-defeating.

    Oh well, at least open source developers don't bomb people in other countries to get the oil profit.
