Hmm, I understand what you want to say and what greg`s talk was all about. I didn`t made the point that RH, Suse, Centos and other open source distro didn`t made valuable contribution , Yes they did. But it`s also fair enough to say that ubuntu is making good enough contribution to FOSS world. How ? By giving better visibility and attracting people from outside FLOSS world.( I don`t have data to verify currently, But this is something which i say from my experience) http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/145 , Shows some examples of how launchpad has increased bug fillings which thus resulted in better bug-fixing and better stable OS. I certainly don`t go with the opinion that only the upstream development contribution can be stand as contribution to FOSS , FOSS is much more than that. Yes, Canonical is a company, Which is focussing on desktop market and thus make roadmap and thus their area of focus is different from server focused comanies Red hat. Every enterprise need to make profit and launchpad is a integral part of their commercial startegy.So i don`t see them wrong on making launchpad closed source. Everything on Launchpad is made upstream and vice versa, So they are not locking any content either. I hope i am clear :) -- Thanks and Regards Gaurav Mishra Linux User #348873 http://gauravmishra.info/blog "When i can run , i will run , When i can walk , i will walk, When i can crawl , i will crawl.
