A New Start!

At UDS-R in Copenhagen, a group of people met twice to discuss use of Ubuntu inside the enterprise. This group decided to take a three-pronged approach to moving forward.

  • We have started a new team on Launchpad for people interested in this topic. You'll find that on the Launchpad site. Please go to the team page, log in, and join!

  • We will be using the mailing list on the Launchpad page to carry on our discussions. The address of the mailing list is <enterprise-ubuntu AT lists DOT launchpad DOT net>

  • We will be working on this wiki page to make the information current and to grow the information here.

Feel free to contribute!

Comments

There is no need for an "enterprise" version of Ubuntu. All those needs apply to the home user as well. CoreyBurger

I disagree. How many home users need domain authentication, logon scripts and remote GP profiles. I do not know one home user running a Windows domain! Those features are used exclusively in business... ChrisRowson

A lot of these features are planned for Samba4 - contributing to the testing of it will speed along the development of any enterprise ubuntu! LeeBriggs
