Ubuntu Developer Summit

For the past two weeks, I've been listening, learning, discussing, and hacking various Landscape and Ubuntu initiatives with members of the Ubuntu community and fellow Canonical employees. It was an amazing experience, and we've got the next 6 months crammed full of plans... with the next 3 months already spec'ed out.

Canonical has surprised me. It's an extraordinary company... both in the modern business-sense of the word as well as the original sense: a fellowship of companions with a common goal. While so far I have only had a chance to hear some personal histories, it's evident that every member of this company is an extraordinary individual with a rich background and a great deal to offer to the whole. Everyone works with an unprecedented amount of motivation towards the company vision, one that is well and tightly integrated into the corporate culture.

There is a bright future ahead for this amazing group...
