"IBM Ubuntu LotusphereOnce again, The VAR Guy’s
sources were right. Canonical, as our resident blogger expected, is
set to announce some Ubuntu news at IBM’s Lotusphere
conference in Orlando the week of January 18. The effort —
which includes channel partners — will involve Canonical
countering Microsoft’s Windows 7 push. Here’s the
scoop. According to a draft press release viewed by The VAR Guy,
Canonical will announce..
""a dedicated support program for Lotus Symphony, the no-charge
office productivity alternative which is a core component of IBM
Client for Smart Work (ICSW) on Ubuntu. This support is made
available to customers by Canonical through the IBM and Canonical
partner network. Organisations can now switch to an alternative
platform from Microsoft for their business productivity needs with
full confidence that the core solution is fully
supported.”"
