While building a robust ecosystem is essential to the future of an operating environment, I'm concerned about the rapid shift towards cloud computing in proprietary systems like iCloud and Office 365. Email hosting and Internet prices have risen, corporations have taken over some of the most successful OSS projects, governments spy on every packet, unlimited neutral Internet is dying, and cutting communications seem to be the new favorite response to any crisis.
Given Ubuntu's original vision, what can it do in the future to ensure everyone has access to computing on their own terms, with any software they choose or develop?
What is the long term vision for OpenStack and will it enable small communities to build their own personal and private clouds in the future, or is it just another step in the march towards monetization?
