Why is Ubuntu not part of the DCC Alliance?
I don’t believe the DCC will succeed, though its aims are lofty and laudable. It would be expensive to participate, and it would slow down our ability to add the features, polish and integration that we want in new releases. I’m not prepared to devote scarce resources to an initiative that I believe will ultimately fail. There’s no point here in going into the reasons why I think the DCC will fail – time will tell. I would encourage members of the Ubuntu community to participate in the DCC discussions if they have time and are interested. If the DCC produces good code, we should merge that into Ubuntu releases, and it should be easy to do so.
