Re: [ubuntu-uk] Introduction, and research
Thanks guys. I thought ubuntu-qa might be a good place to start. 2009/1/21 Dave Morley davm...@davmor2.co.uk: On Wed, 2009-01-21 at 10:48 +, Bruce Beardall wrote: Hi Karl I couldn't tell you where to start with this (although it's an interesting idea), just thought I'd drop a line and say welcome to the adventure.

Regards Bruce 2009/1/21 Karl Beecher k.s.beec...@googlemail.com Hi, My name is Karl Beecher, I've been a Linux user for about 5 years now and a dedicated Ubuntu user for 3 of those. My personal passion right now is OSS research, and at the moment I'm finishing up my thesis on that topic at the University of Lincoln. I've done research into GNOME, KDE, and Debian, amongst other things, and I've worked with people (and continue to do so) involved in the KDE Research group (http://techbase.kde.org/Research ). Having seen other OSS projects involve themselves in research like this, I was intrigued that I was unable to find equivalent material on the Ubuntu site. And so, I would like to know if there are in fact any such research activities going on in Ubuntu, or, if not, whether this would be of any interest to others in the Ubuntu community. I realise this is not the perfect mailing list to address this question to, but I was unable to find a suitable one (apart from maybe ubuntu-qa), so I thought I'd start out by asking my fellow Brits. For a good example of what OSS community research might entail, check out the KDE link above. There are also other organizations and individuals too numerous to list. Again, apologies if this seems off-topic, but if you know of a more suitable place to investigate or person to ask, please let me know.
