Alex,
Having such a 'bug' lying around isn't useful, so I closed it as
invalid. I agree we should discuss this issue of third-party software
breaking and you're right that it has echoes of Ubuntu Friendly/Hardware
Certification (you could say we need a type of 'Software Certification'
as well as 'Hardware Certification')
I note that the bug reporter didn't offer the name of the commercial
software which broke for them as well, which isn't helpful.

Hi all,
thanks Phill for running the meeting last week!
I am back from holidays so I can run the meeting on Wednesday.
It'll be
a short one, though, because we are in Budapest this week on the
Precise
Rally and we have a team dinner that night.
I can give an update on what is being discussed and we can have an
update from what is going on in the community and on the
derivatives and
spend only 30 mins on it. If anyone has anything pressing to discuss,
please, bring it up at the beginning!
Best Regards,
Gema

Hi Gema, and welcome back!
I'm not sure that I'll make the meeting this week, so I only wanted to
raise one issue: there's a bug on launchpad,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/886931.
The person is complaining about the overall quality of Ubuntu (and
probably his specific own problems), but nevertheless, there's one
point that he raises that is quite important. I think that breaking
commercial software from working is a big problem for Ubuntu, and we
should do something about it.
I'd love to participate in a discussion on this topic, but generally
the idea I had is somewhat reminiscent of Friendly - to have a list of
various commercial software applications tested for each new release,
to know where we could have a problem.
So, if you decide to talk about it while I'm absent, fine, I'll read
logs later. If I'm present - then we could have a discussion, or just
start to think about it.
Cheers.
