Forge high-quality products against Apple

Today, in October July 26, the World Open Source conference, which attracted worldwide attention, finally came to an end.
Shuttleworth surpassed Apple's bold pledge in two years. At this moment, Mark
Shuttleworth proposed a call to "Fight against Apple", right )? What is the basis? What is the significance?

In October July 22, Mark, founder of ubuntu
Shuttleworth said that in today's global environment, the accumulation of Free Software resources (Talent elites, software resource libraries, and available funds) has reached a turning point, as long as you add more effort (continue to invest ), as long as the direction is the opposite, there is a lot to do. Mark
Shuttleworth believes that to achieve this goal, adhering to free software innovation is fundamental, and tolerance of the platform is the key. Here, he means that we must come up with a solution,"
Work with Linux and Windows ". In the new historical development period, the enemy, me, and friends must be distinguished and their directions must be clear.

Mark
Shuttleworth has issued a call to the Free Software Development community around the world: in the next two years, the task we are facing is to increase the Linux Desktop (User) experience to a new level, it cannot satisfy the stability and robustness of performance, but must be created like an art ). He said: "Can
We not only emulate, but can we blow right past
Apple ?" (That is, can we not only imitate, but surpass apple ?)

Mark
Shuttleworth believes that actual innovation comes from people around the core of the project, not limited to people in the core of the project; learn to unite more people to participate in the project; it is necessary to give full play to the role of talented elites, and to coordinate projects and projects. He said that we need a developing ecosystem where every component must be sustainable. He also said that in the long run, the so-called "advertising profit model" is not necessarily useful for the development of free software, but should focus on network services.

How to forge high-quality software products? Mark
Shuttleworth is not an empty slogan. In June 27 this year, he stressed the seriousness of eliminating Ubuntu program defects (the so-called "bugs") in the "ubuntu Bug Management" article. He proposed to ensure that every Ubuntu version has no major problems, regardless of the original source of these problems. He believes that Ubuntu users should be responsible for the experience (feelings) of each line of code, regardless of whether the program code comes from the Ubuntu development community. As you know, most Linux distributions have "disclaimer", but the Ubuntu distributions dare to "introduce themselves" like this. How elegant is this ?! As of January April this year, Mozilla had handled 5,304 bugs in the original nature (referred to by "upstreams"), 1,076 in OpenOffice, 5,364 in GNOME, and 1,335 in KDE, there are 13,109 in total. However, the Ubuntu release handles a total of 13,054 buckets, which is equal to the total of the previous four open-source projects. If you don't pay close attention to bugs, what kind of excellent forging?

In short, at this year's World Open Source conference, mark, the founder of ubuntu
Shuttleworth's call for fighting "two years ahead of Apple" is not empty talk. At that time, the pirated users had excellent products available (all those software products could be used freely), and they did not have to steal them. Its great significance is self-evident.
