Rearrange my priority — forget Ubuntu for now
2006-05-01Looks like Ubuntu isn’t really the future that most Asian users hoped. Yes, after the localization sprint more Asian users participated into shaping Ubuntu more suitable for Asian users, but still most internal Ubuntu staff don’t really think Asian market is a necessity for them. Things like fixing typo are more important than fixing UI in Asian locales; including python development packages is more important than including basic input methods for Asian languages. This is, in some sense, a logical consequence that Ubuntu has no Asian developers.
But I think I can’t put too much time to fight this uphill battle. I have to spend my time on supporting basic living requirements. Probably they will employ some knowledged people later, but I can’t care too much about it now. Hope they have success later.
People used to say, contribution is a hobby for those who have satisfactory basic life, and is looking for something more (except selected few who are lucky enough). I always have that feeling, but not as strong as now. Yes, this moment.
