I think that we provide an stable desktop from release to release, no surprises and increasing stability. I think that we should focus on those aspects, in keeping our desktops clean, while adding default improvements (better desktop search, HUD, better filesharing between machines, just for example) that would be of interest of administrators to increase productivity.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">While other desktops focus on gaining a larger public, integrating portable and pseudo-desktop terminals (touchscreens monitors, tablets, netbooks and notebooks), we should still focus on true desktop terminals, taking special care on stability, security, conectivity and innovation.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">I don't think we should stagger our growth by not embrazing new technologies, instead we should look at them and try to determinate which of the new technologies would gave Xubuntu a kickstart over other distros based on xfce, or any other desktop. We should take the things we see are excellent from the mainbuntu development, while taking care of stability and continuity.<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">If we give administrators a distribution that they can trust on, that will keep their users happy and would increase their productivity by not messing their workflow, I think we could get a more extense users universe in our future. <br>

I commend the article by John C. Dvorak at the following
link to the team for consideration:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2419744,00.asp" target="_blank">http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2419744,00.asp</a><br>

Mr. Dvorak reacts in the article to the closing of
Launchpad Bug #1 today by Mark Shuttleworth with a "Fix
Released" which was explained here: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1/comments/1834" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1/comments/1834</a><br>
<br>
I concur with Mr. Dvorak that while technical superiority
is great the problem is marketing and sales. I
additionally agree that a shift back to a
mainframe-dominated computing paradigm seems to be in the
cards much as Mr. Dvorak and I discussed about five years
ago. Mr. Dvorak's remarks fall in line with comments by
Software Freedom Conservacy President Bradley Kuhn here: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1/comments/1844" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1/comments/1844</a><br>
<br>
As we begin the Saucy Salamander cycle, perhaps we need to
consider what a world would look like with major
deployments of Xubuntu in 100 to 1,000 seat environments.
What would that look like? How would we position that?
What is the value we bring in today's computing world
with our technological distinctives?<br>
<br>
Again, these are just things to think about as we dig into
ops this cycle.<br>

Sorry - I thought it was a ridiculous bug in 2007 when I
first saw it.<br>
<br>
Now it's been marked it's causing arguments about whether it
should have been or not - even more ridiculous.<br>

Not sure it was a joke - but I'm not sure taking seriously as a bug
helps much - and people complaining about it is worse imho.<br>
<br>
Anyway - wasted enough time on this now.<br>
<br>
If there's a real reason behind this mail I'd prefer to see it as
such and not mixed up with the bug reports.<div class="im"><br>
