[20:27] <buvoicearts> Hi, my name is Oliver Ghingold. I'm the editor for the Arts & Entertainment section of "The Voice," the Bloomsburg University student newspaper. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to consent to an interview about the recent announcement of Mac OSX Lion, and more specifically the fact that its launchpad and auto-updater features will not be supporting applications downloaded or sold outside of the App Store.
[20:41] <sense> buvoicearts: I'm not sure if that affects Ubuntu too much. Maybe you want to interview developers of open source applications, but Ubuntu doesn't have much to do with installing applications on Mac OS X.
[20:45] <buvoicearts> sense: I'll admit I'm kind of out on a limb. I'm also going to be heading to RedHat/Fedora channels; if I can't talk about APT, I'll try talking about YUM.
[20:46] <buvoicearts> I want to conrast Apple's "walled garden" approach with the merits of Free alternatives.
[20:47] <sense> buvoicearts: Of course applications that don't arrive via APT on Ubuntu are not updated either, someone needs to put it in a repository. Users are able to add more than one repository to their system, though, so that is a bit of a contrast.
[20:48] <sense> buvoicearts: I could see around a bit to see if there is anyone who might be interested in an interview, but I'm not sure if there are many people with time as we are in the middle of the Ubuntu Developer Summit right now and most people are in sessions discussing stuff.
[20:48] <buvoicearts> sense: That was the direction I was going in. Also, nothing stops users of Free applications from adding them to repositories as long as they credit the original authors.
[20:48] <sense> yeah
[20:49] <sense> buvoicearts: A difference (which is something we are working on) is that for the Linux distributions the applications are added by the distro devs, the role of the app devs is much more passive.
[20:49] <sense> We are trying to change that (partially), but now it is still very much controlled by the distros' devs.
[20:50] <sense> buvoicearts: You may want to follow a bit of the App Review Board sessions to get more information about what Ubuntu is planning for its app store. Are you familiar with the UDS?
[20:50] <sense> http://uds.ubuntu.com is a nice starting page if you want more information
[20:52] <buvoicearts> sense: Thanks. I would still like to get a quote from a named FOSS advocate if it's at all possible. Is there anyone with a title who'd let me ask them a few questions?
[20:52] <sense> jcastro: ping
[20:52] <sense> buvoicearts: I'll try to see if there is anyone available for you.
[20:54] <buvoicearts> sense: Much appreciated.
[20:58] <sense> Someone's on it.
[20:59] <buvoicearts> Awesome, thanks
[20:59] <sense> I have to go offline now, see you!
[20:59] <buvoicearts> sense: Later, good sir.
[20:59] <sense> good bye
