The open-sourcing of the Launchpad platform and individual components
would be a great help to the entire community, for sure. It would
enable people like ourselves to help with implementing features into
Launchpad, as well as have other installations of the software available
should other places want to provide hosting and build management
services like what Canonical is currently doing for the community.
The question in my mind is why has Launchpad been---and why is
it---currently a closed-source, proprietary project of Canonical's? Is
there any reason that the work being done on it is being done behind
closed doors? If so, what is that reason? Could not the community be
more helpful to the Launchpad project if the source for it and its
various subsystems were available in a publicly reachable bzr branch?
