Transcript of an audio-interview with Mark, so thankfully no pictures of
mugshots with dodgy haircuts in this one: ;-) *runs*
MARK SHUTTLEWORTH: Ubuntu is my initiative in the Linux space. It’s a
project that I have been working on for a year-and-a-half. Essentially we
make Ubuntu freely available globally - we also then offer support, and
other relationships for it. We’ve had some initial success in a number
of countries - in Spain, for example, three of the provinces have said that
they will create customised versions of Linux based on Ubuntu, and those
will be the standard environments for all pupils in all schools across
those three provinces. We’ve seen similar initiatives in Brazil, and
more and more large organisations - particularly very high volume server
environments like Google and others - are starting to use Ubuntu as well.
the rest is mainly about "Linux" in the local economy, rather than "Ubuntu".
