Joint releases to jolt open source: Shuttleworth
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu Linux founder Mark Shuttleworth has declared more publicity
| would be generated for open source software if the three large
| desktop projects of KDE, GNOME, and OpenOffice.org agreed on a
| common and regular release cycle.
|
| [..]
|
| Other emerging technologies the free desktop should foster are sensory
| immersion, real-time cooperation, and the 3D experience.
|
| Shuttleworth also spoke about the challenge of keeping free software
| really "free".
|
| He said he is highly committed to this freedom, both in the "gratis"
| and "libre" senses, and free software should be too.

| years. However, the last six to nine months have seen tremendous development
| of the Linux desktop, according to the Linux Foundation's Amanda McPherson.
| That progress is remarkable compared to the six years it took Microsoft to
| get from Windows XP to Windows Vista, she added.

Where Is the Linux Kernel Going?
,----[ Quote ]
| Much of the work on the soon-to-arrive 2.6.22 kernel is being devoted to
| stabilizing these new features. Bottomley observed that the Linux kernel
| developers must deal with the "tension between new features and stabilizing
| those features." He urged users to remember that, "If you're running Fedora
| Core 7, then you're helping us to stabilize and test the kernel."
