You can read tonnes more about Ubuntu the operating system at www.ubuntu.com, and you can check back here sometime in June to get a copy of the final thesis. Fingers crossed. :-) Hi Zendré,

Ubuntu is a computer operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux and developed by an on-line community and the IT company Canonical, owned by South African millionaire, Mark Shuttleworth.

You can read tonnes more about Ubuntu the operating system at http://www.ubuntu.com, and you can check back here sometime in June to get a copy of the final thesis.

Fingers crossed. :-)

But I survived. I suppose that more of this is open source than what you think- I like the idea. I came across this blog by accident- please excuse my ignorance, but what is ubuntu in this context- where I come from it is used in a serious manner to say basically ' we are because of each other', or motho ke motho ka batho! cheers z Great to hear that I am not alone- I felt completely inept in many of my ‘sessions’ discussing draft papers with my supervising prof (anthropology).

I'll miss hanging out with you on-line. Though I'll try to cut myself off from the main communications of the community, I'll still be on Jabber in case you want to get hold of me. And please do at least once so I can get back in touch with you... :-) lloydinho [...at...] jabber.org Thank you all for your kind comments. I’ll miss hanging out with you on-line.

I'll miss the talks. I can totally understand you're situation though. Ubuntu is so darn addictive you loose all sense of reality ;-) Let us know when your thesis is done, I look forward to reading it. See you in 6 months! Andreas,

I stumbled across your blog almost by accident with the Ubuntu aggregator and thought you might be interested in a related piece of research. I'm not an anthropologist, but in my dissertation work, I studied social and technical aspects of open source software and open source communities. My lack of anthropological training means my work lacks the kind of rigor you might like, but it still may be somewhat useful. My thesis, "Open Source Software: A Conceptual Framework for Collaborative Artifact and Knowledge Construction", by Eric Scharff, is available at http://www.isse.ucar.edu/scharff/thesis.html If you would like to discuss this or any other issues, please feel free to contact me at the address provided in this reply. Best of luck with your graduate work! Andreas,
