That means it must go where the money is. I doubt anything Oracle does will be that detrimental to Ubuntu. Oracle bought Sun. They're not buying Ubuntu. Well as far as we know. @Majes: Speculative blog entries often precede more informative entries on media blogs like this one. It's a pretty common practice used to keep people coming back. It makes the blog appear more active than it really is or at least gives readers a nod to what the authors are working on behind the scenes. Substantial news of any kind does seem thin on the ground of late. Most of the big tech shows have come and gone. Microsoft aren't even spinning their vapour-ware much. So expect a lot of speculation from professional bloggers as they work on new articles and try to keep their blogs current. @slumbergod: At the end of the day Canonical exists to make a profit.

We've seen Oracle turn Solaris into a trial version. We've seen Oracle turn Java documentation into Oracle University pay courses. Please don't screw up Ubuntu too. I know these big corporates pay for a lot of the development in Linux but it seems risky to me to let them get too much influence.

Er.......what does this mean? “Still, Canonical insiders starting around September 2009 because to focus quite heavily on even better ISV support heading into the Ubuntu 10.04 launch.”
