In honor of the first Ubuntu Community Appreciation Day, I want to thank some of the people who have made us Novacut folks feel welcomed, inspired, and have given us the benefit of the doubt when we've really needed it. This is a difficult list to narrow down, so the best I could do is pick an entire team of people. We are grateful for the encouragement we've received from many other entire teams of people (and individuals), but today I'll just pick one:
I thought today a perfect day to share the wonderful interview Amber Graner did with Charline Poirier, head of the Ubuntu Design Team.
We chose Ubuntu as the primary Novacut platform, despite OSX perhaps seeming like a more obvious choice considering our target users. Partly this was done because we strongly feel that artists deserve a predictable, low-risk platform, something we can help shape in Ubuntu, but have no control over with OSX.
But even more this decision was made because of our confidence in the Ubuntu Design Team and the direction Ubuntu is going. (After all, low-risk is worthless if the platform dosen't cut the mustard.) Canonical has put together a world class design team who can hold their own against anyone, including Apple.
We owe it to artists to back the winning team, and so we did.
A big thank you to the Ubuntu Design Team for always warmly welcoming us and for sincerely treating us as peers despite the fact that we're still finding our way and are amateurs in comparison.![]()
