I've not followed any of the goings on in the Ubuntu community for a while. Reading this, I get the feeling that I missed something. Did Mark Shuttleworth chew out someone in a way that makes Linus look gentle and nice, or something?


I believe he must be referring to this: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1295


Nice move by Mark to accuse others of full NIH (and "open source tea-partying" no less), when they announced and started working on Mir long after Wayland was already gaining traction.

Ubuntu does lots of things right (being overly decisive being one of them), but this whole Mir-affair just strikes me as plain absurd.


For more info, here is his (Martin's) blog post about it: http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2013/10/thoughts-about...


The LWN comments on Mark's blog post make for a good contrast.
