daria42 writes "Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, has started work on a new project which aims to make easier for Linux developers to find the latest open source software updates, no matter which distribution they are contributing to. The effort encompasses distributed bug tracking, revision control, language translations and more. Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth wants Ubuntu to take advantage of the software, saying: 'As the framework [for using code from across the community] sets, hopefully we are at the centre of it. Further down the pipeline we may need to differentiate on other grounds.'"

these guys have been in news lately(if you consider slashdot news)...must be barking up the IPO tree or want to be bought out by a much bigger company. I gave their website a cursory glance and did not find anything of value.
I am sticking with Perforce.
