sfcrazy writes "While the larger Ubuntu community was busy downloading, installing and enjoying the latest edition of Ubuntu yesterday, a post by Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth ruffled some feathers. He gave the impression that from now on only select members of the community will be involved in some development and it will be announced publicly only after completion. There was some criticism of this move, and Shuttleworth responded that they are actually opening up projects being developed internally by Canonical employees instead of closing currently open projects. He also made a new blog post clarifying his previous comments: 'What I offered to do, yesterday, spontaneously, is to invite members of the community in to the things we are working on as personal projects, before we are ready to share them. This would mean that there was even less of Ubuntu that was NOT shaped and polished by folk other than Canonical &ndash; a move that one would think would be well received. This would make Canonical even more transparent.'" http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Ubuntu+Isn't+Becoming+Less+Open%2C+Say s+Shuttleworth%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FQxdu11) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Flinux.slashdot.org%2Fsto ry%2F12%2F10%2F19%2F2129250%2Fubuntu-isnt-becoming-less-open-says-shuttleworth%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium% 3Dfacebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/10/19/2129250/ubuntu-isnt-becoming-less-open-says-shuttleworth?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
