-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There has been very little communication between Ubuntu (Canonical) and gNewSense. They did invite Paul and Brian to the Ubuntu developers gathering, but if anything came of that, it has not yet been announced.
I caution people looking at this as an "Us or them" thing: contributions to gNewSense benefit Ubuntu, and benefits to Ubuntu benefit gNewSense - we don't have the option of NOT working with them. As such, it's important to keep in mind the goals of the distro rather than the specific technical differences. gNewSense has been committed to freedom since day one, and delivering that freedom is the primary goal of gNewSense. Ubuntu's delivery of a libre operating system is welcomed totally, but at the same time they will continue to have a distro that contains non-free things and even makes the assumption that using non-free things for "missing features" is better than going without those features. This is a core difference - one that makes me weary of an "Ultra Free" version of a non-free OS. As long as Ubuntu distributes non-free applications, I can not be sure that they will CONTINUE to put full effort into the maintainance of a libre system. But if they do, it's fully welcomed! - -Kevin Koh Choon Lin wrote: >> I think this would be a good idea.
