Having such a 'bug' lying around isn't useful, so I closed it as
invalid. I agree we should discuss this issue of third-party
software breaking and you're right that it has echoes of Ubuntu
Friendly/Hardware Certification (you could say we need a type of
'Software Certification' as well as 'Hardware Certification')<br>
<br>
I note that the bug reporter didn't offer the name of the commercial
software which broke for them as well, which isn't helpful.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
thanks Phill for running the meeting last week!<br>
<br>
I am back from holidays so I can run the meeting on
Wednesday. It'll be<br>
a short one, though, because we are in Budapest this week on
the Precise<br>
Rally and we have a team dinner that night.<br>
<br>
I can give an update on what is being discussed and we can
have an<br>
update from what is going on in the community and on the
derivatives and<br>
spend only 30 mins on it. If anyone has anything pressing to
discuss,<br>
please, bring it up at the beginning!<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Gema<br>

Hi Gema, and welcome back!
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm not sure that I'll make the meeting this week, so I
only wanted to raise one issue: there's a bug on launchpad, <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/886931">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/886931</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The person is complaining about the overall quality of
Ubuntu (and probably his specific own problems), but
nevertheless, there's one point that he raises that is quite
important. I think that breaking commercial software from
working is a big problem for Ubuntu, and we should do
something about it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd love to participate in a discussion on this topic, but
generally the idea I had is somewhat reminiscent of Friendly -
to have a list of various commercial software applications
tested for each new release, to know where we could have a
problem.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, if you decide to talk about it while I'm absent, fine,
I'll read logs later. If I'm present - then we could have a
discussion, or just start to think about it.<br clear="all">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers.</div>
