I'm happy to give back to the community. Some Ubuntu-derivatives, like Impi (in which I am an investor) are targeted toward vertical markets that demand specific software, currently proprietary, which they bundle. If we were to set binary compatibility (at any level) as a top priority, it would massively diminish our ability to deliver either newer software, or better integration and polish. So we have a very solid set of working engagements in the industry. But this is "accidental compatibility", not "certified binary compatibility". If you touch or change the kernel, or x server or clients, or libc, or compiler, you have effectively made yourself incompatible. He became, as a student, involved in installations of the 1st residential Internet connections at his university. I'm not sure Debian needs that kind of challenge. We work very hard to ensure that Ubuntu is internally consistent across all packages, by focusing on a specific toolchain version and making sure that the distribution is built entirely with that toolchain. Android is great, but if we want to succeed we need to bring something new and better to market. If you would like to see additional things addressed here, please raise them at a Community Council meeting on IRC, or correspond with me or the CC members, or raise it on ubuntu-devel. There's no point here in going into the reasons why I think the DCC will fail - time will tell. Why is this important? He was born in 1973 in Welkom, South Africa. After the Hoary release, a change was proposed in Debian. No, it isn't. To fix bug #1 of course. The overarching theme of the first set of Ubuntu releases is "Humanity". This is equally true of packages in "universe", which is all the thousands of packages in Ubuntu that mostly come from Debian, though there are alternative sources too. But if you look below the hood, at some level or other, you will find binary incompatibility in every significant derivative distribution, from Knoppix through Linspire and the DCC, with Ubuntu being no different. The computer is not a device any more, it's an extension of your mind, your gateway to other people (by email, voip, irc, and over the web). Time will tell. In 2006, it was announced that Shuttleworth became first patron of KDE, which was highest level of sponsorship available at the time. Many packages have very simple dependencies, and don't really require specific versions of system libraries, and they may well Just Work. The (at the time of writing) next release is due in October 2005, and so it will be Ubuntu 5.10. In 2013, Mark and Ubuntu were awarded Austrian anti-privacy Big Brother Award for sending the local Ubuntu Unity Dash searches to the Canonical servers by default. We get to pioneer and focus on those things, and the patches are instantly accessible to the DDs who feel they are appropriate for Debian too. In 2002, he became the first South African to travel to space as a space tourist. We usually have a new version of GCC in Ubuntu, and certainly a newer version than Debian. Mark Richard Shuttleworth (born 18 September 1973) is a South African and British entrepreneur who is the founder and CEO of Canonical Ltd., the company behind the development of the Linux-based Ubuntu operating system. I'm pretty confident that I can get Canonical to break even on that basis. Mark has his private jet, Bombardier Global Express that is often referred to as Canonical One but it’s in fact owned through the HBD Venture Capital Company. To participate in that flight, Mark had to undergo 1 year of preparation and training, including 7 months spent in the Star City, Russia. Many of the patches only make sense in Ubuntu. In the PC world, we are constantly competing with “free Windows”, which presents somewhat unique challenges. I can personally justify my investment in Ubuntu on philanthropic grounds (at least, the money we spend on open source development and on tools for open source developers, like Launchpad) because most of my good luck and wealth could only have been created using open source tools. Flying through Space Adventures, Mark launched aboard Russian Soyuz TM-34 mission as spaceflight participant, and he paid approximately $20 million for that voyage. Actually, the world looks more like a bunch of different projects that need to collaborate. This document exists to give the community some insight into my thinking - and to a certain extent that of the Community Council, Technical Board and other governance structures - on some of the issues and decisions that have been controversial. Upon returning, Mark traveled widely and also spoke about that spaceflight to schoolchildren around the world. So inasmuch as there is a binary incompatibility between those two releases, it was not introduced by the Ubuntu team. It couldn't be easier for DDs to decide which patches they want, and which they don't. We have some initial revenues from services related to Ubuntu. Also, GCC 4.0 gives us basic support for some java apps, through GCJ and GIJ. There is also likely to be quite a lot of proprietary software available for Ubuntu (there is already a fair bit - Opera for Ubuntu was announced recently, for example). Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software. But it might be substantially different to the current Human theme. Today, Shuttleworth holds dual citizenship of United Kingdom and South Africa currently lives on lovely Mallards botanical garden in Isle of Man, with 18 precocious ducks, equally his lovely girlfriend Claire, 2 black bitches and occasional itinerant sheep. So that's what we set out to do in Ubuntu. This is a good thing (at least IMO) as it suggests we are both challenging the status quo, and taking some risks. “All the major PC companies now ship PC’s with Ubuntu pre-installed. There are some good examples of other distributions doing the same thing. We will still use "Grumpy Groundhog", but those plans are still a surprise ToBeAnnounced... For those of you who think the chosen names could be improved, you might be relieved to know that the "Breezy Badger" was originally going to be the "Bendy Badger" (I still think that rocked). And yes, in many cases a binary package from Linspire or Debian will Just Work (TM) on Ubuntu. Mark Richard Shuttleworth is the founder of Ubuntu or the man behind the Debian as they call him. And as far as I am aware every significant distribution has, with good reason, invested work in those components to ensure that they meet the needs of their users. Mark gained worldwide fame in 2002 as a second self-funded space tourist and the first South African who could travel to the space. In 2004, Mark returned to free software world by funding software development of Ubuntu, as it was Linux distribution based on Debian, throughout his company Canonical Ltd. In 2000, Mark founded the HBD, as an investment company, and also he created the Shuttleworth Foundation in order to fund the innovative leaders in the society with combination of fellowships and some investments. What about the GCC 4.0 transition? Each release of the kernel requires that it be compiled separately from previous releases. Mark Shuttleworth: The Man Behind Ubuntu Operating System On this day, September 18 in the year 1973, the man considered as the first African in space was born in Welkom, Free State, South Africa. Given that patches can flow so easily between Ubuntu and Debian, it seems to me that the bigger we can make our total combined developer community, the better for both projects. In order to implement it, the Debian team would have to break compatibility with Hoary, which had already been released. Why was Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) not "binary compatible" with Debian Sarge? “I urge telecommunications regulators to develop a commercial strategy for delivering effective access to the continent.”. The possibilities are endless. In the end I decided to create a parallel distribution, and invest in the infrastructure to make inter-distro collaboration a lot more efficient. And that's only the cases where credit has been given. Solving the "distro collaboration problem" would really advance the state of open source. Because no OS ever succeeded by emulating another OS. In 2010, Mark received the honorary degree from Open University for that work. Because in reality it is simply not that important in the open source world, and it is also not practical as a high-priority goal. For subsequent releases we wanted to stick with the "hog" names, so we had Hoary Hedgehog, and Grumpy Groundhog. In 2000, Mark formed the HBD Venture Capital (Here be Dragons), the business incubator and venture capital provider. Hi, I'm Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu & Canonical. To come up with list of names of people in order to hire for the entire project, Mark took about six months of Debian mailing list archives with him during his travelling to Antarctica aboard icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov in 2004. Michael has written more than 20,000 articles covering the state of Linux hardware support, Linux performance, graphics drivers, and other topics. That means that we tend to attract different sorts of developers. These patches are available to all the Debian maintainers, and make their life a lot easier with the GCC 4.0 migration in Debian. So if you win a device to your OS, it stays on your OS. Have you actually read the financial statements of SPI, Inc, over the past few years? Why is Ubuntu not part of the DCC Alliance? Currently in the midst of a record-breaking crowdfunding campaign to make Ubuntu Edge superphone a reality. So if we want to be relevant on the PC, we have to figure out how to be relevant in the mobile world first.
