Welcome to the [:DerivativeTeam:Derivative Team] FAQ! The aim of this page is to provide an up to date list of common questions that we get about the [:DerivativeTeam:Derivative Team] project. We encourage you to update this document when something is missing so it becomes a core source of information for the project.

General Questions

Why are you starting yet another team?

I am starting the DerivativeTeam as a response to a Lugradio segment a few weeks ago in which the presenters stated that 'Ubuntu and Linspire working together will be a cataclysmic event that will will cause the world to stop rotating around its axis.' I on the other hand, feel that collaboration with derivative distributions can be benificial for everyone. Maybe a bit of exaggeration in that last statement.

How will derivative distributions help Ubuntu?

First, by including derivative distributions in the Ubuntu Community we can grow the community in a scalable manner. Derivate distributions are often preexisting organization that have their own developers, QA efforts, and customers.

Secondly, by leveraging the increased size of the Ubuntu + derivatives user base, Ubuntu will have additional clout among hardware vendors.

Thirdly, from a financial perspective, some of the derivatives will be commercial distributions who will provide differing levels of customer support. These derivatives will be potential customers from Canonical's support arm.
