In a market where you can watch your shares drop 30% overnight, how can you tell your shareholders with a straight face you are doing what is best with their money if you refuse to embrace such a large part of the community? Open up the drives so we can use our hardware any way we want, and in turn your computer techs and purchasers will recommend your cards.
In all, over 200 updates have been integrated, and updated installation
media has been provided so that fewer updates will need to be downloaded
after installation. These include security updates and corrections for
other high-impact bugs, with a focus on maintaining stability and
compatibility with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. — Release Notes
This one has Firefox 3.0 Final, bunch of intel driver fixes, and sudo will work even if your hostname is messed up.

Linux Podcast
A few weeks ago I read some posts about Linux related podcasts. By far my favorite so far is Linux Outlaws. If you need a podcast to add to Banshee or Rhythmbox, definitely check out this one.
Symfony 1.1 Release
Symfony 1.1 was released. I have personally used this framework for very large projects with great results. The documentation is good and we get great performance out of it.
Thanking Karl Lattimer

Dear Karl,
Since you obviously require more credit for your contributions than anyone ever before, I would like to suggest Ubuntu to do the following to satify your demands:
Karlbuntu specific release:

This release will come stock with a background that reads “Make sure you are aware the system monitor was created by Karl Lattimer”.
Why don’t you do me a favor, take this as a formal request: In your release notes for anything you make, I want you to list each individual who contributed anything to the toolchain you used to create the program:
- Which distro do you run? Credit all of them
- Which compiler do you use? Credit all of them
- Which toolkit did you use? Credit all of them.
- Which desktop did you use? Credit all of them
- Which IDE did you use? Credit all of them
- What kernel did you use? Credit all of them
- Which PC brand did you use? Credit all of them
- …
Everything is where it is today because you, like everyone else, are building on past work that allows you to do what you do. You’re not a special butterfly, and your contribution, while useful, does not require special attribution any more than every piece of hardware, software, or tool in life that allowed you to do it.
Oh, your weblog in which you post these things: Every post make sure to acknowledge every contributor to apache, wordpress, php and mysql.
This post is my personal opinion and does not reflect the views of anyone in the Ubuntu community.
