"I think the one thing that makes Ubuntu superior and so fought for is the strength and feeling of community. It’s acceptance. It’s family."

From techwizrd’s identi.ca timeline.

I agree.

Tonight we had a nice discussion about Ubuntu, Ubuntu One, and the infrastructure stuff Canonical is keeping closed.

The first thing I’ve realized is identi.ca groups are like IRC channels. Second thing is that you can have a very interesting conversation limited to 140 chars per message. And third is people isn’t happy with closed components and the abuse of the Ubuntu brand (Ubuntu is a word strongly related to a community, and having it associated with closed source it’s nasty).

I think it would be different if Ubuntu One was called Canonical something and not Ubuntu, and techwizrd message is the key for me.

Should Canonical change the name of the service?
