Comment 12 for bug 317164

To say that the fix for an application involves installation of a beta of the next operating system is unacceptable!

The 2.2.5 upgrade for glabels has been out for months, what is the reason that glabels for Jaunty has not been updated?

Mark Shuttleworth at the recent LinuxCon conference:

However, he went on to argue that if Linux is to broaden its appeal then more focus needs to be placed on the user interface - a significant area of interest for Canonical-sponsored Ubuntu, which has a user experience team dedicated to discovering how people interact with its software.

It was an approach, he argued, that needed to be adopted by more open-source developers. "If the developer is in the room, they have to say nothing. It's the shut the f**k up protocol. You sit and watch someone struggle with the software that you've so lovingly produced."

In this case, the fault does not seem to be with the developer as much as with Mr. Shuttleworth's own team.
