Η canonical έχει κέρδος;

[yodan000]

Λοιπόν διάβαζα για τη Novel πως μέσα σε ένα χρόνο ανέβηκε 50% η αξία της.... η canonical έχει κάποια επιτυχία; ή λίγα πράγματα;

[headless]

Έχεις επενδύσει σε μετοχές της Canonical;

[Dimitris]

Αυτό πάντως headless είναι καλή ιδέα. Πόσο κάνουν τα windows; 100€; Να αγοράζει ο καθένας για 100€ μετοχές της canonical όταν το κάνει εγκατάσταση! Και φυσικά μόλις ανεβουν να τις ξαναπουλάει. Σε ποιο χρηματηστήριο είναι εισηγμένη η canonical;

Spoiler: show

Πλάκα κάνω

Δεν νομιζω οτι ειναι εισηγμενη...

Επίσης δεν είναι ούτε κερδοφόρα (ακόμα)
Έχει έσοδα αλλά δεν βγάζει κέρδος.

τότε πως ζουν αυτοί που την έχουν;

Mark Richard Shuttleworth (born 18 September 1973) is a South African entrepreneur who was the second self-funded space tourist. [1] Shuttleworth founded Canonical Ltd. and as of 2010, provides leadership for the Ubuntu operating system. He has a net worth of £150 million ($225 million).[2] He currently lives in the Isle of Man and holds dual citizenship of South Africa and the United Kingdom.

Early life

Shuttleworth was born in Welkom, Free State, South Africa as a son of a surgeon and a nursery school teacher.[3] After attending school at Rondebosch Boys' High School[citation needed] and Diocesan College, Shuttleworth obtained a Business Science degree in Finance and Information Systems at the University of Cape Town. He lived in Smuts Hall, where he was involved in the installation of the first residential Internet connections at the university.
[edit] Work

Shuttleworth founded Thawte in 1995, which specialised in digital certificates and Internet security and then sold it to VeriSign in December 1999, earning R 3.5 billion (about US$ 575 million at the time). In September 2000, Shuttleworth formed HBD Venture Capital, a business incubator and venture capital provider. In March 2004 he formed Canonical Ltd., for the promotion and commercial support of free software projects. In December 2009, Shuttleworth stepped down as the C.E.O. of Canonical, Ltd.[4]
[edit] Involvement in Linux and FLOSS

In the 1990s, Shuttleworth participated as one of the developers of the Debian operating system.[5]

In 2001 he formed the Shuttleworth Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to social innovation which also funds educational, free, and open source software projects in South Africa, such as the Freedom Toaster.

In 2004 he returned to the free software world by funding the development of Ubuntu, a Linux distribution based on Debian, through his company Canonical Ltd.

In 2005 he founded the Ubuntu Foundation and made an initial investment of 10 million dollars. In the Ubuntu project, Shuttleworth is often referred to with the tongue-in-cheek title Self-Appointed Benevolent Dictator for Life, abbreviated SABDFL.[6] To come up with a list of names of people to hire for the project, Shuttleworth took six months of Debian mailing list archives with him while travelling to Antarctica aboard the icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov in early 2004.[7] In September 2005, he purchased a 65% stake of Impi Linux.[8]

On 15 October 2006 it was announced that Mark Shuttleworth became the first patron of KDE, the highest level of sponsorship available.[9]

On 17 December 2009 Mark announced that, effective March of 2010, he would step down as CEO of Canonical to focus energy on product design, partnership and customers. Jane Silber, COO at Canonical since 2004, will take on the job of CEO at Canonical.[10]
