Welcome Ubuntu user to my home page !

About me

  • Linux Experience : Started years ago with Mandrake 8.0 in the 90s and then Ubuntu 8.04/9.10/10.04 more recently.
  • IT proven Skills : C/C++, UML, Php, SQL, Bug management and validation procedures.

Main Ubuntu Interests

  • Improving Ubuntu Community work procedures.
  • Make Ubuntu better on Laptop.
  • Linux real time and Ubuntu cross compiler environments.
  • Translation and Documentation review.
  • Helping people get more involved in Ubuntu improvements.

Ubuntu Community Thoughts

  • Ubuntu Community seems not to like Forums, it mainly works with IRC and MailLists. I believe not using Forum brings difficulties into Ubuntu Community internal relationship and organisation.

  • Ubuntu Community is like a part of a galaxy with a black hole in the middle. The black hole should be considered as kernel.org and its debian.org and gnu.org twin super novas. Ubuntu takes vital energy from all of them: from kernel.org it takes the kernel, from debian.org it takes its architecture and design foundation and gnu.org feeds it with tons of resource code.
  • A good question is: what is Ubuntu Community field of action exactly. Where does Ubuntu starts and where dos it end ? Considering that Ubuntu OS essentially brings:
    • A selection of kernel configuration.
    • A hardware driver management and support: when a bug is reported to Ubuntu Community they will broadcast it to debian.org or kernel.org.
    • A selection of packages, from Desktop Manager like gnome.org or kde.org to games or web resources like mozilla.org or image design like gimp.org or document like lyx.org and openoffice.org.
    • Support and Promotion.
  • Ubuntu Community is then linked with a lot of other entities and finally seems just put together and test parts of the open source galaxy. It is not exactly true because some smart new parts are borderline of the open source continuum like adode.com, java.com or chrome.com or some video codec and obviously microsoft.com.
  • Ubuntu Community is also historically linked with more technical communities like opensource.org, eclipse.org, mono-project.com, python.org, ruby-lang.org or gcc.gnu.org
  • Other good questions are:
    • Are all needed open source community identified ?
    • Are there people dedicated to critical part relationship management ?

Important Locations for Ubuntu Community

  • Kernel.org is the Open Source Community affording new linux-kernel releases to Ubuntu Community.
  • Debian.org is another Linux OS distribution like Ubuntu. Debian is less user-friendly than Ubuntu but much more technical.
  • Gnu.org is historically, a hudge repository of open source resources. It also manages GNU license enforcement.
  • Gnome.org
  • Kde.org
  • Mozilla.org
  • Gimp.org
  • lyx.org
  • openoffice.org
  • opensource.org
  • eclipse.org
  • gcc.gnu.org
  • mono-project.com
  • python.org
  • ruby-lang.org
