The Ubuntu releases in between known as development or non-LTS releases are supported for 9 month each. Ubuntu is entirely committed to the principles of open source software development; we encourage people to use open source software, improve it and pass it on. Ubuntu is suitable for both desktop and server use. Ubuntu includes thousands of pieces of software, starting with the Linux kernel version 5.
The Ubuntu Project is sponsored by Canonical Ltd. Canonical will not charge licence fees for Ubuntu, now or at any stage in the future. Yes, very cool! One of its most exciting aspects is hinted at in the name: users wanting a particular feature to be implemented can put money where their mouth is, essentially providing a serious motivator for developers to fulfill the request. To be fair, in my experience, Americans are not only more likely to buy online, they are far more likely to purchase something from Amazon than anywhere else online.
In many cases, the people that use these platforms integrate the platform into their websites, making the ultimate source of fulfillment totally opaque. Despite that, these things do exist. I will say I found that Printfy works with a network of global vendors.
They do accept new vendors. If you happen to know a local t-shirt producer or some other merchandise , you might want to point out the opportunity to them. I would wholeheartedly suggest you do this! It seems that globally the world has accepted English as the predominant language used in technology. While that makes things easier for me it makes things terribly hard for other people.
The one thing that can make a difference is translations. The Lubuntu Team thanks to help from volunteers! We still have stuff like our manual and website that needs translation, but we are that much closer to providing a native experience for users around the world. I really appreciate the conscientiousness by which you have approached this conversation and I am sure that you will find a way to fit in a little time to give back. Thanks in advance for making Lubuntu better!!! This is weird.
Hi, wxl , I recently found a web2print e-commerce platform in Brazil named Montink. So you pretty much focus on developing the art of your products and the rest is provided by Montink and its business partners.
Learning English helped me a lot with studying about computers and hardware in general, computer networks and software in general, reading technical manuals et cetera. Some people tell me that the next lingua franca is Chinese, but Chinese is not Chin easy at all, i.
I mean, like you say about Chinese the fact that you make that pun shows what a good English speaker you are! So I think native localization is best! Thanks for the compliment. I agree about the importance of localization. Even those who have been living in the US for over a decade tell him that still it is hard for them to master the language.

Fair enough, but people don't usually spray there money around to the tune of millions of USD per year. If this is an investments, where are the returns expected to come from? I think when you believe in something like open source as strongly as Mark does and you have as much money as Mark does he got half a billion dollars from the sale of Thawte in , pouring money into an organisation that stands a very good chance of making your dream come true makes a lot of sense.
I don't really think something important should rely on the whims of a benevolent leader i. From an ethical point of view and that of a user in my opinion the question is whether in the cases no matter how rare or unforeseeable when the two objective conflicts, which one will prevail? Depending on the answer to the above an action is either interested or benevolent.
