Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth makes peace with Ubuntu Linux community

General News

Summary

He suggests that Shuttleworth should "establish a proper Ubuntu Foundation that owns the trademarks and a board with majority Canonical staff as members and some seats for the community." Hes also been pushing hard to make Ubuntu a major player on the far more profitable cloud, Internet of Things, and Kubernetes. He was "unsure how to restructure a community leadership function that can perform real, satisfying work that requires dedication and judgment, but also generates a reward for those who put in the effort." At this point, Walter Lapchynski, an Ubuntu developer, volunteered to help reset the Community Council and to run its first election. "Having considered it over the weekend, with @wxls offer to help run the process, lets go ahead and call for nominations to the CC."
