Ubuntu Creator Urges Abandonment of OpenSuse
,----[ Quote ]
| Based on the Microsoft-Novell deal and its fallout, the entire industry
| is getting a close look at how open technology communities and
| companies work, according to Gardner. "The notion that a vendor can
| have a secret or fuzzy pact with another vendor doesn't work when the
| community is instant and global and seamless," he said. "You need to
| be pretty open and thoughtful about your announcements." The same
| factors served to minimize recent industry concerns about Microsoft's
| vague claims of intellectual property rights to Linux, which were the
| cause of some disharmony between the two software giants last week.
| "If you're going to work in a community, you need to recognize you're
| exposed," Gardner said. "Sleight of hand doesn't work, and ambiguity
| will be exposed and discussed."
