Re: Ubuntu debuts its Upstream Report

Hmm, weren't the numbers very much disputable? Omitted one of the most obvious numbers, ie. the number of employees in companies, Canonical's 150 (a lot less before) vs. other's thousands. Blaming a small company for their big success is a bit funny. The grandmas and grandpas using Ubuntu cannot be turned into kernel patches.

I find your post a bit trollish, since whatever all the aspects that have been discussed to death, the issue is very disputable and Greg's ramblings very biased-sounding against his employer's competitor. It's about 50% that Canonical has some problems that could be fixed with time and (hopefully) company growth and 50% that Greg has a bit of a problem with rudeness that should not be tolerated in communities since it creates bad spirit.

Regarding the topic, I find it a welcome start to a more fluent upstream handling. I think previously effort and thinking has gone to interacting with Debian, but it's also useful to try to contribute more directly to upstreams.
