[00:31] <txwikinger> I cannot predict the future.. but I can imagine project Mir might be a bigger problem for the unity of the *buntu communities than rolling releases
[00:31] <txwikinger> or more releasees
[00:31] <txwikinger> depending how it will be handled in the end

[15:47] <txwikinger> I think this author does not understand the history of Ubuntu
[17:16] <DarwinSurvivor> good grief
[17:16] <DarwinSurvivor> "If one assumes that, like SUSE, the profit margin is in the 15 to 20 percent region, then it is not much to write home about." It's common knowledget that Ubuntu has been in the red for years
[17:17] <DarwinSurvivor> I think they only had 1 or 2 quarters where they were actually in the black, and it has not come close to making up for all the years where it lost money
[17:20] <DarwinSurvivor> HAHA. click on the link next to his claim that Mark and Jono are propagating the idea that it's a community-only distro!
[17:20] <DarwinSurvivor> it links to another of his own blog postings that actually talks about how the books need to be balanced and makes no reference to this so called claim
[17:21] <DarwinSurvivor> I was hoping he'd at least link to one of Jono's postings (there surely are not a shortage of those!)
