“Was the Ubuntu GNU/Linux project set up because the
founder had some kind of deep love for the FOSS community and
wanted to become a folk hero of sorts?“Or did Mark Shuttleworth create the project because of a degree
of idealism – but also a steely determination to make it a paying
concern so that its future would be ensured?“It’s funny that seven years and a bit after Ubuntu came to life
in October 2004, people still write about the project in a dreamy
wide-eyed way, even mentioning the word “love” in doing so. Naive
is the description that immediately springs to mind.”
