Can Linux publishers keep going?

Today, the international free software movement has entered a new historical period of development. The international development groups of various free software projects are growing and have their own say, for example: linux Kernel International Development Group, gnome, Kde, and OpenOffice.org organizations. Linux publishers must deal with them and cannot ignore their existence in order to make public use of their stage results. In this international environment, what is the "domestic Linux release version" is purely closed-eyed (not nonsense ).

On October 16, July 23-26, the Linux international seminar was held in Ottawa, Canada. The Conference was attended by more than 600 people. The Ottawa Linux Annual Meeting (the popular title of this Meeting) is well-known in the global Linux Industry. The main topics of the conference involve the cutting-edge topics of today's Linux development. This year, the annual meeting in Ottawa has been held for ten consecutive years.

This year's Ottawa Linux annual meeting studied the current situation of international Linux publishers. The conference issued an appeal to all (World) Linux publishers to cooperate with each other to Simultaneously release their respective Linux distributions, in order to reduce the waste of software development process (waste), improve the market share of Linux. As the world changes, we must keep changing. Mark, founder of ubuntu
Shuttleworth gave a keynote speech at the conference. He said: software development is driven by three factors: cadence, collaboration, and users. The so-called "rhythm" refers to the release cycle of the project version. He believes that the same cycle is good for handling affairs. Linux publishers should collaborate with each other to make sure that the release cycle of the release version is consistent (or close), rather than independent and free to publish the version. Mark
Shuttleworth's opinion is worth noting.

In fact, from the perspective of the main content of various Linux distributions, there are almost few. In comparison, their respective "personality" features are in the second place. Microsoft proposed interoperability. Who should they work? What if there are thousands of Linux distributions? For Linux publishers, it is an objective need to develop.

Interestingly, global Linux publishers have extremely high performance requirements for downloading image servers around the world. John, manager of the Linux kernel backup storage
Hawley said at the Ottawa meeting that last year, the new versions of fedora, opensuse, and centos were released simultaneously within three days, putting many mirror servers under pressure. "Don't listen to mark, it's a bad idea ".

Looking back at our country, there are several Linux publishers, which are very different from each other and have a long release cycle, so we can't keep up with them. The problem is that the domestic Linux release is almost like Windows. Is it good or bad? Now, Microsoft Vista is here. Do you want to continue with Microsoft? Today, the "Microsoft style" of the Linux release version has become a real burden, which masks the strengths of the Linux release version, such as: no virus, stability, security, and robustness of the system. The objective situation has changed, and we have to change.

(Note: more than a dozen Linux distributions abroad are based on Ubuntu, or "powered
By Ubuntu ", domestic self-boot USB flash drives will adopt this development path .)
