Ten commandments for Ubuntu
I ended my presentation by suggesting that the Ubuntu community "make Ubuntu better, not simply a clone of yesterday's mistakes." To get there, I warned Canonical/Ubuntu to:
Not commit adultery, by which I meant doing things like spurious patent deals that undermine the trust and process of open source. Seems like a good idea at the time, but ends up being a terrible one.
Not create graven images (idols) of Mark Shuttleworth. I think the world of Mark, and find it hard to not venerate the work he's done. But Ubuntu is a community of many, not a cult of personality of one. Mark encourages the community - so should the community.
Not bear false witness against competitors.
