I’ve decided to create a new launchpad group for ubuntu based research activities.
I will try and encourage all developers, who want to spend time testing experimental features or crazy ideas, to join this group so we can see what kinds of things we’re thinking about in the far future.
Too long have we gotten the image in the FOSS world of being only concerned with copying features and obvious feature improvements. Well now I think it’s time we had a group where more mad scientists can get together and chat about the stuff that won’t be in until Ubuntu 11.10.
I may try and encourage a mailing list as well, it would be good to bring in ideas from ubuntu brainstorm when they’re obviously very creative and not just a progression of existing features or bug fixes.
