How Much Does Linux Need the Desktop?
Does the true future of Linux on computing devices lie outside of desktop computers? It’s no secret that on the desktop Linux has held steady at only about one percent market share for many years, and that has caused many pundits to proclaim that it will never be a truly meaningful player on the desktop—especially on business desktops. Now, more and more stories are appearing about inroads for Linux on computing devices other than standard desktop and laptop computers. For example, some are saying that Ubuntu 10.10 will find a big home on tablet devices.
Canonical Isn't Looking to Fork GNOME--Why Should It?
The derStandard.at blog has an interesting conversation up with Ubuntu Community Manager Jono Bacon, and, among other things, he puts to rest the rumor that the folks at Canonical plan to fork the GNOME desktop environment. We've talked with Jono before, and he's always good to listen to and very straightforward. He notes in the interview that aesthetics played a big role in the development of the Lucid release of Ubuntu, and much more.
Ubuntu Accessibility Project Seeks Help with Survey
When Ubuntu's software designers sit down to design software, they prefer to do so with a total picture of the end-user in mind. Their method involves creating "personas," a compilation of characteristics that represents various types of people who use the software. For instance, Mary might be a first time Linux user who loves working with media files and images, while Chuck may be a FOSS hobbyist who enjoys working at the command line.
Developers working on the Ubuntu Accessibility project are collecting data from people with computer accessibility issues in order to create a picture of software users with special needs. The team has created a survey to better understand the needs of these users and is calling on the community to help answer some questions vital to the success of the project.
