Mark Shuttleworth: FAQs: Why and Whither for Ubuntu?
Mark Shuttleworth talks
about Ubuntu and other projects on the Ubuntu wiki site. "Why
are you funding Ubuntu, instead of giving the money to Debian? I spent
a lot of time thinking about how best to make a contribution to the open
source world, and how best to explore the ideas I am personally interested
in, such as the best ways to deploy open source on the desktop. One option
was to stand for the position of DPL (I'm a DD, first maintainer of Apache
in 1996 blah blah) and drive those ideas inside Debian. In the end I
decided to create a parallel distribution, and invest in the infrastructure
to make inter-distro collaboration a lot more efficient."
