This amazing poster by Hannes Pasqualini was released as an open source file which anybody can print. It has now been rereleased and is an example of the ingenuity and frontier spirit that can be found on the Ubuntu forums. Unfortunately, as Ubuntu becomes more mainstream, so too the issues which are tackled. The result is that Ubuntu is starting to lose some of its uniqueness and is in danger of turning into Microsoft Windows. Instead of focusing on pie-in-the-sky ideas like cloud computing, Ubuntu should rather make an effort to produce amazing software, taking some of the code-base which is already in Linux and making this more user-friendly. Then it will stand a chance of beating Microsoft. The highway to freedom is open, but what we do with it, will determine our future, and the future of coming generations. What will you leave behind for those who come after you? What will they find when they surf the Internet? Download the source file and print yourself a copy.

thanks a lot for the link!
ReplyDeleteI somehow agree with your point of view on what is becoming of ubuntu... on the other hand, there's certainly a lot of issues one is facing when trying to grow and expand...
anyway, ubuntu is still the distro I liked best, so from time to time I invest some of my time something back to the community...
well in fact a new poster would be more than overdue...
