Whenceforth the Ubuntu fanboyz now?

[George Nicol]

Canonical Ltd., the sponsor of Ubuntu, and Linspire Inc. the developer 
of Linspire and Freespire, on February 8 announced a technology 
partnership to integrate with each other's Linux distributions.

Perhaps the technology partnership announced by Kevin Carmony and Mark 
Shuttleworth will foster "advancing and unifying the Linux desktop" and 
"offer differentiation and choice, while reducing fragmentation" 
(Carmony) "based on sharing and collaboration" "rather than duplicating 
that work" (Shuttleworth).

Perhaps it will encourage the Ubuntu fanboyz to work with TLUG as a SIG 
and embrace cooperation to benefit all from the combined experience, 
wisdom, and resources.

Perhaps not.
