Re: Plans for GUADEC 2007, yes 2007
However the reason you are saying that Ubuntu is shipping non-free software is not known to me (well, the only place, where I see non-free software might be, is device drivers, but that is a fault of hardware vendors. And it is reasonable to use them, isn't it? I don't remember which programs in Ubuntu are non-free; perhaps they are device drivers. Someone else recently said that's what they are, so that seems likely. The reason why distributing non-free device drivers is harmful is that distributing any non-free program says, in effect, Non-free programs aren't so bad. After all, if you thought it was really bad to install a non-free program, you wouldn't suggest it to others. And if using a non-free device driver is acceptable because we call it the hardware companies' fault, then what about using Sun's Java libraries and saying that's Sun's fault, or using Adobe's e-book reader with DRM and saying that's Adobe's fault, or RealPlayer's spyware-player and saying that's RealPlayer's fault, etc? Of course we want GNU/Linux to be successful, but why is that goal important? Because our system is a way to escape from non-free software. Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a long digression from the topic of planning GUADEC 2007. ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

As of speaking of my country, Ubuntu is doing a great job in private sector here, but we need publicity to make it happen in education and/or government. With disappointment, I report that Ubuntu includes some non-free software. It would be better to promote Debian, which at least does not include non-free software even though their site distributes some. Even better would be Ututo, which is 100% free software. I'm not saying that we are promoting Ubuntu. The reason I have mentioned Ubuntu here, is that it is one of the most polished distributions shipping GNOME as the desktop. Due to its marketing policy, it is self promoting distribution, Ubuntu are shipping live CDs together with install CDs (heard something about virus, spyware free OS? whatever distro is being used/promoted in Lithuania, I myself would be really happy to see GUADEC there.
