First off I should say Ubuntu is a client. With the economy the way it is I don’t need to apologise for posting a job. Especially when its working at a great company.<\/p>\n
Ubuntu Server Engineering Manager at Canonical<\/a><\/p>\n I can think of a few people might be interested. What’s good about the Ubuntu OS? Well its core goal is to be the most usable<\/em> Linux. Good goal. My partner in crime Stephen<\/a> was an Ubuntu user and evangelist way before the firm was a client precisely because of the user experience. Indeed I reckon Stephen has done as much as anyone to document Ubuntu on Thinkpad.<\/p>\n But now Ubuntu is doubling down on the enterprisey stuff, cloud and virtualisation and so on. Perhaps most interestingly Canonical is taking a leaf out of metronomic IBM mainframe product delivery- with a regular six month cycle…. “this is what you’ll get. This is what we delivered, this is what you’ll get, and so on.”<\/p>\n That’s a hell of a job to take on. Got rhythm? You’ll need it for the job.<\/p>\n What is the best thing about Canonical though? The people. Stone cold awesome. In the last few months they hired duck fancier Simon Wardley<\/a> and management maven John Willis<\/a>, who records the IT management podcast<\/a> with our very own Cot\u00e9<\/a>. The people first culture comes from the top down- Mark Shuttleworth may bang on about space travel rather a lot, but his goals are all about getting stuff done down here.<\/p>\n Another old friend at Canonical is Ken Drachnik, ex-Sun. Talking of Sun- one of the reasons to write this post is that I know a lot of people from the firm read this blog. Hey – might be worth giving Canonical a call. The culture is as far from Oracle as you can get.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First off I should say Ubuntu is a client.
