Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu Last week, during Ubuntu's OpenWeek, Mark Shuttleworth joined in for a two hour Q&A session, where he answered a wide range of questions regarding Ubuntu and its parent company, Canonical. They ranged from questions regarding Canonical's relationship with Dell, all the way up to Shuttleworth's response to Greg Kroah-Hartman's criticism of Canonical.

"Greg was saying "the things I care about are the only things that matter"."

With all due respect to Shuttleworth, I think putting words into other people's mouth is rude. Remember, that the keynote was on "Linux Plumbers Conference" so Greg KH naturally talked about kernel, glibc, gcc etc changes rather than some of the higher level layers.

I think, the larger message is about the value of participation in upstream projects is a good message nevertheless. If you are going to form a opinion, you might as watch the talk first
