Mark Shuttleworth, the visionary behind Ubuntu, is launching Gobuntu?"a unique, freedom-focused variant of Ubuntu. This exciting development is catered to open-source purists and excludes any proprietary elements.
Shuttleworth recently made a call on his blog for developers passionate about advancing content and code freedom. He urged them to join Gobuntu's team to help identify components that need to be separated from the standard Ubuntu builds. The primary aim is to eliminate proprietary hardware drivers found in typical Ubuntu releases.
However, the Gobuntu initiative has met with some skepticism within the Ubuntu community. Jordan Mantha, an Ubuntu developer based in Paris, poses an intriguing question: "If Gobuntu developers rely on proprietary tools like Launchpad and Merge-o-Matic from Canonical, does this undermine the project's objectives?"
In response, Shuttleworth envisions Gobuntu becoming more distinct from Ubuntu over time. He stated, "With a growing team, we can maintain a significant difference between Ubuntu and Gobuntu. Our goal is to create a cleaner, more manageable foundation for projects like gNewSense," a GNU/Linux distribution that includes only free software.
Gobuntu is currently available for x86 and AMD64 systems and can be downloaded using HTTP, Jigdo, or BitTorrent.
