I waited and debated on what, if anything, to post on this topic. I didn’t want to chime in and just be another voice but every voice should be heard if it wants to speak. I was hoping that after Mark Shuttleworth spoke his thoughts on the matter of the naming of the Ubuntu One [...]

What is Plungapalooza you [...]
