One year ago today, I married the love of my life, Erica. From the minute we went on our first date, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. We instantly developed a close connection; a bond that spans beliefs, interests, ambitions and tastes. Since… read moreThe Intersection Of Quality And Expectations
November 06 2009
There has been a little bit o’chatter on the tubes recently regarding quality and our recent release, Ubuntu 9.10.

November 05 2009
Here at Canonical we are all big fans of the Creative Commons. For those of you unfamiliar with them, they have created a set of Free Culture licenses that make it simple for people to release open content.
