The Coming of Age for Ubuntu

 

Greetings fellow Ohio LoCo-ians (hey, I think I just created a new word!! [?])

Just moments ago Mark Shuttleworth posted an article in his blog titled,
"Ubuntu vs RHEL in Enterprise Computing," (
http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1072). In this article, he
discusses how Ubuntu has over taken RHEL (RedHat Enterprise Linux) in
adoption for "large-scale enterprise workloads," as well as in newer
computing areas such as Cloud Computing & Big Data.

He later goes onto discuss the growing presence of the Ubuntu operating
system in the enterprise, as well as in personal computing. After which he
continues to layout how both the strong development teams at Canonical
along with the ever growing community and broad user base are playing major
rolls in the furthering the strength and solidarity of the Ubuntu product
line!

I response to that, & with the highly anticipated release of Ubuntu
12.04LTS only next month, I think now is the perfect time for us to begin
planning a BIG celebration! Or in fact even a number of BIG celebrations
for the coming of age release of our favor operating system. Let's to do
our part in spreading the word about Free Open Source Software (FOSS), and
the fun, simple, and easy to use Ubuntu operating system!
