than a celebration of the OpenDocument Format (ODF). It's a recognition that 
unencumbered document formats enable the sort of communication we take for 
granted--and have, since medieval times, prior to the European discovery of the 
printing press. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

href=&quot;http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/10/follow-up-post-to-canonical-microsoft/&quot;&gt;updated&lt;/a&gt;
 my &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/09/is-canonical-becoming-the-new-microsoft/&quot;&gt;original&lt;/a&gt;
 &amp;#8220;Is Canonical becoming the new Microsoft?&amp;#8221; post to make it 
clearer that what I was &lt;em&gt;actually asking&lt;/em&gt; was about whether 
the company is becoming the next organisation that we 
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;love to hate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; because of the 
increasing level of criticism aimed at it and it&amp;#8217;s flagship product 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntu.com&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Today, the 15th February, &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.itwire.com/sam-varghese&quot;&gt;Sam Varghese&lt;/a&gt; 
has written about a conversation &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.itwire.com/opinion-and-analysis/open-sauce/36820-im-not-driven-by-microsoft-hatred-shuttleworth&quot;&gt;iTWire
 have had&lt;/a&gt; with Mark Shuttleworth regarding my original post. 
Unfortunately not only does he seem to have missed the point of that original 
post, but he also writes as though I was making an accusation or statement 
rather than asking a question:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was responding to queries from iTWire 
about a recent blog post that has claimed  Canonical is becoming the new 
Microsoft.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;He goes on to list some of the points I made:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The blog post had listed a number of reasons why 
the writer thought Ubuntu was allegedly becoming the new Microsoft: the 
inclusion of Mono as a default; the creation of Ubuntu One, a proprietary 
software repository; removing the GIMP and other applications from Ubuntu; 
changing the default search engine to Yahoo!; discussion about what proprietary 
applications should be included in the Ubuntu repositories; and the appointment 
of Matt Asay as chief operating officer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Please, let&amp;#8217;s get this straight. I have noteworthy opinions 
on one or two of the points I mentioned, but that was not the point of the 
post. They were supposed to be taken as examples of a collection of decisions 
that are apparently, in various quarters, providing the fuel for an increase of 
criticism overall.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Personally I really am not bothered about the Gimp being removed (it 
is easy to install), nor OpenOffice.org from the UNR (I actually install the 
desktop edition on my netbook anyway), nor am I upset about Ubuntu One; 
it&amp;#8217;s an interesting solution, I use it sometimes myself and 
I&amp;#8217;m sure a Windows version will be most welcome by many around the 
globe. Neither &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://popey.com/blog/2010/01/26/yahoobuntu/#comment-1893&quot;&gt;am
 I bothered&lt;/a&gt; about the Yahoo search thing (If Canonical can get money 
from Microsoft then that&amp;#8217;s just funny IMHO), and I was actually 
pleased about &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://twitter.com/opensourcerer/status/8680203428&quot;&gt;Matt 
Asay&amp;#8217;s appointment&lt;/a&gt;; he will bring a wealth of commercial 
experience, a good dose of much needed sales &amp;#038; marketing skills to the 
operation and I&amp;#8217;m sure much more besides.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Sam also didn&amp;#8217;t mention any of this from my original 
post:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I really like Ubuntu. I use it everywhere, I help 
in the Ubuntu-uk irc channel when I can and we [our company] promote Ubuntu to 
our customers and I [as an individual] to friends and family.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;What concerns me is not any particular item in the list above: some I 
care about, others I do not; as I am sure many of you will do too. It is the 
increasing volume of criticism and vitriol as a whole. It is getting louder. 
This, I believe, is indicative of a turning tide that, if we are not careful, 
will result in Ubuntu losing popularity and more of the FOSS community 
exercising it’s freedom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;I did not claim Canonical was becoming the new Microsoft. I asked if 
it might be. I also (admittedly not very clearly on my first pass) was 
interested in the reasons why Canonical/Ubuntu is getting more criticism 
directed at it at a time when it is becoming more successful and more important 
and was hoping to solicit some ideas and opinion as to how we could stop that 
increasing criticism and prevent what seems to be a fairly common occurrence 
with big and successful companies; we are even seeing it with Google now. 
Ubuntu/Canonical is built on very different principles to traditional 
commercial enterprises, so could we, as the community, come up with any ideas 
to prevent the &amp;#8220;love-to-hate&amp;#8221; syndrome?&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t read iTWire much. I only noticed this post from Sam 
as I had a couple of referred clicks to this blog today and was interested in 
where they were coming from.  &lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Sam, your article paints me with a brush which I do not believe to be 
fair or accurate.&lt;/p&gt;

-Sam Varghese Got It Wrong?</a>
-</h3>
-<p>
-<p>On the 10th of February I <a 
href="http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/10/follow-up-post-to-canonical-microsoft/";>updated</a>
 my <a 
href="http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/09/is-canonical-becoming-the-new-microsoft/";>original</a>
 &#8220;Is Canonical becoming the new Microsoft?&#8221; post to make it clearer 
that what I was <em>actually asking</em> was about whether the company is 
becoming the next organisation that we <em><strong>love to hate</strong></em> 
because of the increasing level of criticism aimed at it and it&#8217;s 
flagship product <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com";>Ubuntu</a>. </p>
-<p>Today, the 15th February, <a href="http://www.itwire.com/sam-varghese";>Sam 
Varghese</a> has written about a conversation <a 
href="http://www.itwire.com/opinion-and-analysis/open-sauce/36820-im-not-driven-by-microsoft-hatred-shuttleworth";>iTWire
 have had</a> with Mark Shuttleworth regarding my original post. Unfortunately 
not only does he seem to have missed the point of that original post, but he 
also writes as though I was making an accusation or statement rather than 
asking a question:</p>
-<blockquote><p>&#8220;He was responding to queries from iTWire about a recent 
blog post that has claimed  Canonical is becoming the new 
Microsoft.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
-<p>He goes on to list some of the points I made:</p>
-<blockquote><p>The blog post had listed a number of reasons why the writer 
thought Ubuntu was allegedly becoming the new Microsoft: the inclusion of Mono 
as a default; the creation of Ubuntu One, a proprietary software repository; 
removing the GIMP and other applications from Ubuntu; changing the default 
search engine to Yahoo!; discussion about what proprietary applications should 
be included in the Ubuntu repositories; and the appointment of Matt Asay as 
chief operating officer.</p></blockquote>
-<p>Please, let&#8217;s get this straight. I have noteworthy opinions on one or 
two of the points I mentioned, but that was not the point of the post. They 
were supposed to be taken as examples of a collection of decisions that are 
apparently, in various quarters, providing the fuel for an increase of 
criticism overall.</p>
-<p>Personally I really am not bothered about the Gimp being removed (it is 
easy to install), nor OpenOffice.org from the UNR (I actually install the 
desktop edition on my netbook anyway), nor am I upset about Ubuntu One; 
it&#8217;s an interesting solution, I use it sometimes myself and I&#8217;m 
sure a Windows version will be most welcome by many around the globe. Neither 
<a href="http://popey.com/blog/2010/01/26/yahoobuntu/#comment-1893";>am I 
bothered</a> about the Yahoo search thing (If Canonical can get money from 
Microsoft then that&#8217;s just funny IMHO), and I was actually pleased about 
<a href="https://twitter.com/opensourcerer/status/8680203428";>Matt Asay&#8217;s 
appointment</a>; he will bring a wealth of commercial experience, a good dose 
of much needed sales &#038; marketing skills to the operation and I&#8217;m 
sure much more besides.</p>
-<p>Sam also didn&#8217;t mention any of this from my original post:</p>
-<blockquote><p>I really like Ubuntu. I use it everywhere, I help in the 
Ubuntu-uk irc channel when I can and we [our company] promote Ubuntu to our 
customers and I [as an individual] to friends and family.</p>
-<p>What concerns me is not any particular item in the list above: some I care 
about, others I do not; as I am sure many of you will do too. It is the 
increasing volume of criticism and vitriol as a whole. It is getting louder. 
This, I believe, is indicative of a turning tide that, if we are not careful, 
will result in Ubuntu losing popularity and more of the FOSS community 
exercising it’s freedom.</p></blockquote>
-<p>I did not claim Canonical was becoming the new Microsoft. I asked if it 
might be. I also (admittedly not very clearly on my first pass) was interested 
in the reasons why Canonical/Ubuntu is getting more criticism directed at it at 
a time when it is becoming more successful and more important and was hoping to 
solicit some ideas and opinion as to how we could stop that increasing 
criticism and prevent what seems to be a fairly common occurrence with big and 
successful companies; we are even seeing it with Google now. Ubuntu/Canonical 
is built on very different principles to traditional commercial enterprises, so 
could we, as the community, come up with any ideas to prevent the 
&#8220;love-to-hate&#8221; syndrome?</p>
-<p>I don&#8217;t read iTWire much. I only noticed this post from Sam as I had 
a couple of referred clicks to this blog today and was interested in where they 
were coming from.  </p>
-<p>Sam, your article paints me with a brush which I do not believe to be fair 
or accurate.</p>

-       <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;On the 10th of February I &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/10/follow-up-post-to-canonical-microsoft/&quot;&gt;updated&lt;/a&gt;
 my &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/09/is-canonical-becoming-the-new-microsoft/&quot;&gt;original&lt;/a&gt;
 &amp;#8220;Is Canonical becoming the new Microsoft?&amp;#8221; post to make it 
clearer that what I was &lt;em&gt;actually asking&lt;/em&gt; was about whether 
the company is becoming the next organisation that we 
&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;love to hate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; because of the 
increasing level of criticism aimed at it and it&amp;#8217;s flagship product 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ubuntu.com&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Today, the 15th February, &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.itwire.com/sam-varghese&quot;&gt;Sam Varghese&lt;/a&gt; 
has written about a conversation &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.itwire.com/opinion-and-analysis/open-sauce/36820-im-not-driven-by-microsoft-hatred-shuttleworth&quot;&gt;iTWire
 have had&lt;/a&gt; with Mark Shuttleworth regarding my original post. 
Unfortunately not only does he seem to have missed the point of that original 
post, but he also writes as though I was making an accusation or statement 
rather than asking a question:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He was responding to queries from iTWire 
about a recent blog post that has claimed  Canonical is becoming the new 
Microsoft.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;He goes on to list some of the points I made:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The blog post had listed a number of reasons why 
the writer thought Ubuntu was allegedly becoming the new Microsoft: the 
inclusion of Mono as a default; the creation of Ubuntu One, a proprietary 
software repository; removing the GIMP and other applications from Ubuntu; 
changing the default search engine to Yahoo!; discussion about what proprietary 
applications should be included in the Ubuntu repositories; and the appointment 
of Matt Asay as chief operating officer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Please, let&amp;#8217;s get this straight. I have noteworthy opinions 
on one or two of the points I mentioned, but that was not the point of the 
post. They were supposed to be taken as examples of a collection of decisions 
that are apparently, in various quarters, providing the fuel for an increase of 
criticism overall.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Personally I really am not bothered about the Gimp being removed (it 
is easy to install), nor OpenOffice.org from the UNR (I actually install the 
desktop edition on my netbook anyway), nor am I upset about Ubuntu One; 
it&amp;#8217;s an interesting solution, I use it sometimes myself and 
I&amp;#8217;m sure a Windows version will be most welcome by many around the 
globe. Neither &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://popey.com/blog/2010/01/26/yahoobuntu/#comment-1893&quot;&gt;am
 I bothered&lt;/a&gt; about the Yahoo search thing (If Canonical can get money 
from Microsoft then that&amp;#8217;s just funny IMHO), and I was actually 
pleased about &lt;a 
href=&quot;https://twitter.com/opensourcerer/status/8680203428&quot;&gt;Matt 
Asay&amp;#8217;s appointment&lt;/a&gt;; he will bring a wealth of commercial 
experience, a good dose of much needed sales &amp;#038; marketing skills to the 
operation and I&amp;#8217;m sure much more besides.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Sam also didn&amp;#8217;t mention any of this from my original 
post:&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I really like Ubuntu. I use it everywhere, I help 
in the Ubuntu-uk irc channel when I can and we [our company] promote Ubuntu to 
our customers and I [as an individual] to friends and family.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;What concerns me is not any particular item in the list above: some I 
care about, others I do not; as I am sure many of you will do too. It is the 
increasing volume of criticism and vitriol as a whole. It is getting louder. 
This, I believe, is indicative of a turning tide that, if we are not careful, 
will result in Ubuntu losing popularity and more of the FOSS community 
exercising it’s freedom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;I did not claim Canonical was becoming the new Microsoft. I asked if 
it might be. I also (admittedly not very clearly on my first pass) was 
interested in the reasons why Canonical/Ubuntu is getting more criticism 
directed at it at a time when it is becoming more successful and more important 
and was hoping to solicit some ideas and opinion as to how we could stop that 
increasing criticism and prevent what seems to be a fairly common occurrence 
with big and successful companies; we are even seeing it with Google now. 
Ubuntu/Canonical is built on very different principles to traditional 
commercial enterprises, so could we, as the community, come up with any ideas 
to prevent the &amp;#8220;love-to-hate&amp;#8221; syndrome?&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#8217;t read iTWire much. I only noticed this post from Sam 
as I had a couple of referred clicks to this blog today and was interested in 
where they were coming from.  &lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Sam, your article paints me with a brush which I do not believe to be 
fair or accurate.&lt;/p&gt;

medieval times, prior to the European discovery of the printing press.
