| Jun 20, 2023 at 16:43 | comment | added | terdon on strike | Oh yes, I was asking in case you knew something I didn't. Canonical used to be much more involved, with employees actively posting here, but that was years ago. I think they might be paying some money to SE, but I have no idea about the details. In any case, the main thing is that we own our content and have every right to take it anywhere we want. Having Canonical's backing would be welcome, but not necessary. | |
| Jun 20, 2023 at 13:47 | comment | added | Artur Meinild | @terdononstrike I said AFAIK, because it's my impression that Canonical officially endorses this site. So it was more a question about the degree of autonomy. If you say Ask Ubuntu has 100% autonomy, and don't even need to inform Canonical if the platform changes, then I believe you. I explicitly stated I didn't know for certain.. | |
| Jun 20, 2023 at 12:53 | comment | added | terdon on strike | @ArturMeinild why do you say this site is a "Canonical Project"? It most certainly is not! It is a community project, hosted by Stack Overflow Inc. and that company has some sort of commercial arrangement with Canonical for the use of the Ubuntu logo. However, neither Canonical nor Stack Overflow Inc. own the content. We own the content and have given an irrevocable license to Stack Overflow Inc. (and everyone else) to use the content with attribution. | |

| Jun 14, 2023 at 12:28 | comment | added | Artur Meinild | Yes. And I envision that the migration of Ask Ubuntu from SE to Codidact could be the move that added the needed momentum to this. But I also agree with Oli that we shouldn't tear up the carpet before we know the outcome of the strike - but then again, it's a really good idea to gather up some thoughts about possible future scenarios. | |
| Jun 14, 2023 at 12:16 | comment | added | Levente | @ArturMeinild to my limited knowledge, Codidact was mainly inspired, or at least, did gather its critical momentum to become a viable project, by SE's incomprehensible betrayal of the community in 2019. As I understand, Codidact was very much inspired by SE, and is now on a mission to provide the world the same value that SE promised originally, but without the downsides (the dehumanizing aspects of capitalism) that plague SE itself. | |
| Jun 14, 2023 at 12:10 | comment | added | Artur Meinild | Agreed. Also, minor note: Codidact came to my attention recently, and it seems the format is mostly like SE. But I don't remember if somebody saw a downside to this? | |
| Jun 14, 2023 at 12:09 | comment | added | Levente | @ArturMeinild I am also very much aware of Canonical, and was more direct about their possible involvement in other posts of mine, e.g. here: "It would also worth asking Canonical if they would be interested in hosting us somewhere else." And when, in this post, I wrote: "Please, anyone well-connected and insightful among you ..." that's partly what I meant: those, who are familiar with, and may be in regular contact with Canonical. | |
| Jun 14, 2023 at 10:11 | comment | added | Artur Meinild | I wonder who the "community" representative from Canonical is, who should be in on such a decision? I mean, in the end Ask Ubuntu is (afaik) a "Canonical project", so in the end isn't it Canonical that has final say in an eventual migration? Or I might be very wrong, in which case I'd like to be enlightened. Thanks. 👍 | |
