Shuttleworth To Step Down As Canonical CEO In 2010
LinuxScribe writes "In a blog announcement today, Canonical Founder and CEO Mark Shuttleworth revealed he will be stepping down from his CEO role to be replaced by current COO Jane Silber. Both execs do not see major strategic changes on the horizon. Silber's official blog and Linux.com each have more details on how the change will be implemented."
And all this time I thought that the "canonical" executive for any open-source project was "Ty Coon, President of Vice".
Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.
Because it's Debian's retarded love-child conceived after a drunken bender and unprotected sex with a mongoloid?
Famous last words we have all heard before.
---- Booth was a patriot ----
Will this event be labeled a "COO d'état" ?
Oww, ouch, OWW, stop the beating!
A lot of the problems would go away people just ditched KDE GNOME has matured quite a bit by now. After being a staunch KDE supporter for many years, I installed GNOME recently, and am very glad that I did! It's a much nicer environment than KDE currently is. The integration between the apps is really good. It's almost better than Windows and Mac OS X, and is a lot better than KDE. The GNOME apps all work seamlessly with one another. It feels really responsive, too. I think this has to do with GTK+. It's just a better toolkit than Qt is. After using GNOME for a couple of weeks, I don't think that I can go back to KDE again. KDE just has too many bugs, not enough integration between the apps, and just plain feels sloppy these days. --- DID YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
BeauHD. Worst editor since kdawson.
Debian's package manager is incredibly annoying if you've used something nice like Portage or Paludis.
I don't believe Ubuntu has strayed to the point of having a different package manager
I 3 Ubuntu more than most people
Definitely. Most people I know only less than 3 it.
I can check development suite at the OpenSuse install
Good troll but you lost me there. Usually the process for any distro that isn't Debian based is:
1- Check a package
2- Click on install
3- Package gains critical mass and starts fusing iron atoms
4- Supernova
5- Massive package and system corruption
When that stops happening I might switch to another distro.
By the way, most of us that program at all, use C exclusively. Your deviated C++ ways are where they belong, together with Objective-C and Haskell in the massive yet solid repositories.
