“Developer.ubuntu.com should now be the central point of
reference for any topics related to application development. From
creation to publication: porting, sharing, contributing, finding
information… a site that should grow organically to provide
the tools, share the knowledge and act as the springboard to foster
app proliferation and developer community growth in this exciting
area.

Embracing the concept that for sustainable business development
and wider adoption Ubuntu should provide the ability to purchase
apps as well as to install open source software for free, the site
has been developed with that exact idea in mind. In that regard,
developer.ubuntu.com has been built upon the foundations of
existing tools such as the Ubuntu Software Centre and My Apps to
offer a unified and consistent journey for both open-source,
non-commercial and commercial app authors.
