Mark Shuttleworth interview: Taking Ubuntu beyond desktops
================================================================================
He may have stepped back from the CEO role at Canonical, but Mark Shuttleworth is still very much the public face of Ubuntu.
He suffered a setback earlier this year when the crowdfunded Ubuntu Edge project – in which he invested a lot of personal capital, if not actual money – failed to get anywhere near its ambitious investment target. However, he tells us the project wasn’t a total failure, and may even be aped by the best-known smartphone maker of them all.
#### Q. How long will Ubuntu remain primarily focused on the desktop? ####
**A.** If you look at the design work we’ve done across desktops, phones and tablets, we’ve done it specifically so we can converge them into one codebase. The mobile code we’re working on now is also the future desktop codebase: your phone can give you a desktop, since it has all the desktop code sitting on it.
> The mobile code we’re working on now is also the future desktop codebase
The actual convergence will happen some time during the next major cycle – it won’t be in 14.04, but it could be in 14.10 or 15.04. We believe we’ll be able to deliver that before Microsoft manages to converge Windows on mobile and PC, which the company has said is its goal from a design and development perspective.
Once we’ve converged those, there’s a question about whether the six-month release cycles make as much sense. Phone and tablet users are used to the idea that the phone just updates itself whenever, so maybe we’ll soften up on the six-month thing and release updates all the time.
#### Q. With Android and iOS so well established, how will you encourage developers to produce apps for Ubuntu? ####
**A.** That’s the key question. Ubuntu is the number-one platform for all kinds of [cloud computing][1] – Instagram is all Ubuntu, for example, and the back-end of many of the games and services that people run on their mobile devices runs on Ubuntu in the cloud. So, on that side we feel very much the strong incumbent.
I think the key difference between us and Windows 8 is that we’re based on Linux, just like Android. That means web apps and native apps designed for Android are much closer to being on Ubuntu than they are to being on Windows. Many Android developers use Ubuntu, and develop their apps on Ubuntu, so it’s much easier for them to target that simultaneously.
#### Q. Do you have any hardware partners lined up to make Ubuntu phones and tablets? ####
**A.** We’ve seen test devices by a series of household brands. All those companies have internal teams looking at their future options. It’s very difficult to influence them; they decide what they think is interesting for themselves.
But we’ve seen a number of them take cutting-edge devices and put on Ubuntu. Since we’re also Linux, it’s relatively easy for them to do that if they have Android devices in the pipeline. It’s a very strong signal of interest that they’re independently putting Ubuntu on devices and showing it to carriers.
The core story is that we don’t have any announced partners, but we’re comfortable that the industry is taking a good, hard look at Ubuntu, and investing the time and money needed to do that properly.
#### Q. Were you disappointed that the Ubuntu Edge didn’t get funding? ####
**A.** I was very, very disappointed that we weren’t able to turn it into reality. I continue to get mail from people who say “I supported the Edge and I’m disappointed it didn’t happen”. But I was blown away by the level of support that we did achieve. For us to get a device out would be a huge undertaking, but if you consider an existing phone manufacturer, they could do something like the Edge with a lower [funding] threshold.
Also, we’ve seen an uptick in interest in convergence. People are saying, “yes, mobile processors are catching up with the desktop”. When Apple announced the next-generation iPhone [5s], it called the processor “desktop-class”, and I don’t think that was an accident.
It was a rare occasion where perhaps the company gloated prematurely, and sent what we think is a very clear signal that it will converge the iPhone and the MacBook Air. There’s no point talking about the desktop performance of your CPU unless you plan to make a desktop device with that CPU.
So, while I was disappointed that we didn’t make the Edge, I’m convinced the idea is going to get made. Our focus will be on having the best software stack for a converged world.
#### Q. What smartphone do you use on a personal basis? ####
**A.** I have Ubuntu running on my own smartphone – it’s a Nexus, and I’ve replaced Android. I also have a collection of devices running everything: Windows Phone, iOS and Android. It helps me stay in touch with what users expect.
#### Q. What’s the state of play with Ubuntu TV? It was announced in 2012 but things have gone quiet since then. ####
**A.** Ubuntu TV has been folded into the mobile codebase. We’re now working on production. It might be phone in this release, tablet in the next release and, ultimately, everything converged. We’ll have one codebase that will be the Ubuntu experience across all those different form factors.

马克·沙特尔沃思专访：让Ubuntu超越桌面端
================================================================================
他可能已经辞去了Canonical公司的CEO，但马克·沙特尔沃思仍然是代表Ubuntu最多的公众人物。
#### 问：Ubuntu将会继续专注于桌面多长时间？####
**答：**如果你有观察到我们在桌面，手机和平板上已完成的设计工作，会发现我们已经针对性地完成了，因此我们可以将它们放到一个代码库中。目前我们正在努力的移动端代码也会是未来的桌面代码库：你的手机可以给你一个桌面环境，因为它包含了在此之上的所有桌面端代码。
> 目前我们正在努力的移动端代码也会是未来的桌面代码库
实际的代码合并会在下一个主周期里的某个时间点进行 - 不会在14.04版本中，但有可能在14.10或15.04中。我们相信我们有能力在微软完成合并移动端和PC端的Windows系统前完成这一计划，尽管微软公司表示这是它在设计和发展上的目标。
一旦我们合并完这些代码，就会产生一个疑问：六个月的发行周期是否有更多的意义。手机和平板用户习惯于在任何时刻更新手机系统，因此我们可能会软化六个月的周期，持续发布更新。
#### 问：安卓和iOS已经发展得很好了，你是如何鼓舞开发者们为Ubuntu开发应用程序的呢？####
**答：** 这是个关键性的问题。Ubuntu是各种[云计算][1]上的首要平台 - 例如，Instagram全部都部署在Ubuntu上，以及人们移动设备里运行的游戏和服务的后端在云端运行在Ubuntu。因此，在这方面上，我们感受到很强烈的责任。
我认为在Ubuntu和Windows 8之间主要的不同是Ubuntu是基于Linux，就像安卓一样。这意味着Ubuntu相比Windows与为安卓平台设计的web应用和原生应用关系更紧密一些。很多安卓开发者使用Ubuntu，在Ubutu上开发应用程序，因此对他们来说同时瞄准这两个平台开发更加容易。
#### 问：目前有任何硬件合作者支持为手机和平板开发Ubuntu吗？####
**答：**我们在很多家居品牌上看到了测试设备。这些公司都有内部团队关注着它们未来的选择，很难去影响他们的，他们所想的才是他们最感兴趣的。
但是我们也发现了很多公司使用前沿的设备并放在Ubuntu平台上。既然Ubuntu也是Linux，所以对他们而言如果想要流水线生产安卓设备相对很容易。这是一个十分强烈的兴趣信号，暗示他们正在独立地将Ubuntu安装到设备上并将其呈现给运营商。
#### 问：你是否对Ubuntu Edge没能获得资助感到失望？####
**答：**我感到非常失望，因为我们没有能够将它转变成现实。我持续地受到人们发来的电子邮件，在其中写到“我支持Edge，为它没有诞生感到难过”。但我也因为我们所做到的程度而被众口称赞。对我们来说使得设备被生产会是一个巨大的保证，但如果你考虑到已有的手机生产商，他们可能会以较低的[资金]上限来对待Edge。
我们也看到了在利益趋同上的上升。人们表示，“使得，移动处理器正在追赶着台式机”。当苹果发布下一代iPhone [5s]时，它声称处理器是“桌面级的”，我不认为这是不可能的。
这是一个难得的机会，或许该公司过早地幸灾乐祸了，发给我们认为是一个非常清晰的信号：它会普及到iPhone手机和MacBook Air笔记本电脑。除非你打算用这种CPU去制造一台桌面设备，去讨论这种CPU的机器性能是没有任何意义的。
因此，当我为我们没有成功实现Edge感到失望时，我也确信这个想法会被实现的。我们的重点是拥有这个融合世界上最好的软件协议栈。
#### 问：你个人使用的是什么类型的智能手机？####
**答：**我的智能手机上运行着Ubuntu，它是一台Nexus，并且我已经替换了安卓。我也拥有一些运行着Windows Phone，iOS和安卓的设备。这样帮助我了解用户期望得到的东西。
#### 问：Ubuntu电视的开发进度如何？它在2012就已经发布，但从此却杳无音讯了。####
**答：** Ubuntu电视已经并入到移动端代码了。目前我们正致力于生产。这次发行可能是手机，下次是平板，最后一切都将融合在一起。我们将得到一个代码库，将成为跨越所有这些不同形式的因素的Ubuntu的经验。
