Hi all
I still find it odd that Ubuntu ships with a variety of different english; us,
gb, aus etc which ensures that almost everyone has to install the additional
language pack and then pick their own language. For me it's great because i
can cut some of the bloat out by simply removing the extra languages ability
although i would then have to suffer with american.
If it was technically feasible to have just en_us, fr, perhaps spanish and
maybe one or two others rather than all the different english versions we
currently have then more people would have the sweet advantage that i currently
enjoy.
There are technical reasons that would make this more complicated than is
immediately obvious. A huge change requiring a lot of work for a low priority
minor issue that most people probably don't notice anyway is hardly something i
can imagine people jumping on, it's just a thought about where we might want to
head in a few years.
Btw, congratulations on all the hardwork people :) Jaunty 9.04 is looking
great. Also great to see a high level of commitment from an official source.
It's great to see governments actively supporting gnu/linux's but even better
to see one giving support to specifically Ubuntu. I think the whole world of
computer users benefits from this as well as being a good way for government
departs and the rest of the people of the country. Perhaps i'm being far too
idealistic but developing ways out of paying licencing fees to a foreign
company's profit margin has got to be a good way to help the local economy and
to help resist the americanisation of the world. Diversity breeds innovation
and success.
Thanks and regards all
Good luck from
Tom :)
