Re: Canonical's business model

[jeremiah foster]

Can't Canonical devote resources to better Ubuntu's contribution to debian? This seems like a reasonable request since Canonical crows about how they are the number one linux distro and they have excellent support, but surely the reliability of their product rests upon the reliability of debian.

Can Canonical allocate paid positions for debian developers to integrate Ubuntu patches back into debian? These would be debian developers tasked with developing fixes for debian from Ubuntu not beholden to any business model or corporate creed.

The allocation of resources might assuage some of the smoldering resentment harbored by DDs towards Canonical.
