In recognition of the value of FOSS gaming, the Ubuntu Gaming Team has been
formed of mutual benefit to Ubuntu and FOSS gaming. As of today, the team is
now open for anyone to join and participate in. Working towards improving
FOSS games and developing its community will turn a significant barrier
Instead of thinking of this as working "at a distro level", think of it as
simply organizing around the well established ubuntu community.

How do you expect FOSS to make serious gains into the gaming market? Big
commercial games (read COD, Oblivion, Fallout, most RPGs) are like
interactive movies and they take about the same amount of money and manpower
to produce... That's something FOSS is rarely going to be able to reproduce.

In response to Oli, isn't your first argument like comparing Windows to
Ubuntu? Maybe Ubuntu is a little bit ahead compared to FOSS gaming versus
proprietary games, but that's what this team was set up to change. We
understand the arguments for porting commercial games to Linux, and don't
deny that
Pardon the duplicate Matthew, I forgot to click reply to all. Just

Could a solution be to simply link to Debian/Ubuntu games team for
packaging? It may have caused a tiny bit of confusion with the announcement,
but i really don't foresee any other confusion. If it becomes a problem then

gconf-editor under update-manager and update-notifier. I also unchecked
