Vaughan-Nichols explains that Ubuntu is about to release business software stacks for Small-to-Medium sized Businesses (SMB) and enterprises. Some of the preloaded software intended to be released by 2009 is the IBM Open Collaboration Client Solution (OCCS) which includes Lotus Notes, Lotus Symphony and Lotus Sametime. Another offering will be the Zimbra Collaboration Suite 5.5. And still a third will be Unison, which is a combination desktop and server package. http://www.cio.com/article/441702/ * A Penguin with an Egg: Growing the Open-Source Community - Esther Schindler relates some of her experiences at the Open Source Convention (OSCON). Some of it involves how to include more than just developers in the community, and get people to contribute in other ways than code. This included talking to Mark Shuttleworth about attracting participants and interacting and integrating with upstream software providers. Other discussions included the role of women in Open Source, and community management. Jono Bacon mentioned that part of it is not trying to convert a user community into a developer community. "You're trying to convince a cat to bark," he said. Also mentioned in the article is the Open Web Foundation, and how it tries to encourage data as well as open source code to be available everywhere. Some of this involves untangling licensing definitions. Read more at http://www.cio.com/article/441165/ * Leadership Lessons: Passion, Smarts and What Open Source Can Learn About Management - Esther Schindler spoke to Mark Shuttleworth from Ubuntu and Jon Sobel (Source``Forge group president) and Ross Turk (community manager for Source``Forge.net) about management and the open source community. One of the things that Ms. Schindler discovered is that there doesn't appear to be any training for managers in open source projects. And now it's time for open source to step up and innovate new methods of managing and training managers. http://advice.cio.com/esther_schindler/leadership_lessons http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080805/BIZ/808050303 == In The Blogosphere == http://www.thevarguy.com/2008/08/07/canonical-preparing-virtual-ubuntu-server-appliances/ http://www.thevarguy.com/2008/08/07/untangle-ubuntu-linux-save-750-pcs-from-landfills/ http://journihilism.net/2008/08/a-practical-experience-fedora-vs-ubuntu/ http://www.dawningvalley.com/2008/08/how-dell-and-system76s-ubuntu-machines-stack-up-to-their-mac-counterparts/ == In Other News == http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/ibm-canonicalubuntu-novell-red-hat/story.aspx?guid={F6BECEDE-0833-4FA6-83D7-4EBA7A79337E}&dist=hppr http://www.linux.com/feature/144170 == Meeting Summaries == ## Any news from any Ubuntu Team listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports/January2008 be sure to udate to current month. == Upcoming Meetings and Events == ## Data pulled from mailing lists and http://fridge.ubuntu.com ## Either use bullets or sub-headings to organize content. ## Format: ## ## === Friday, March 16, 2007 === ## ## ==== MOTU Meeting ==== ## * Start: 10:00 ## * End: 12:00 ## * Location: IRC channel #ubuntu-meeting ## * Agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Meetings == Community Spotlight == ## Specification Spotlight ## This section highlights an approved specification that is going to be implemented ## in Feisty.
