[mythtv-users] Ubuntu Media Center team dumping MythTV for Elisa (yuck!)

[Erik Warner]

Hi,

I'd like to let you know that Ubuntu is starting its "Ubuntu Media
Center" initiative, and that they are apparently choosing Elisa
instead of MythTV:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMediaCenterTeam

Given that MythTV is way more feature-rich, stable, and powerful,
forgoing MythTV is a terrible decision on the part of Ubuntu and its
parent company, Canonical. MythTV is _the gold standard_ of Free/Open
Source media centers. Both MythTV and Ubuntu have great communities,
and they could certainly benefit from a mutual relationship.

I hope you will join me in attempting to convince the Ubuntu Media
Center team and Mark Shuttleworth (Ubuntu's founder,
http://MarkShuttleworth.com) that MythTV is the obvious choice for the
Ubuntu Media Center.

Thanks,
Erik

BTW: Our DRM-loving, anti-GPL, anti-Qt/KDE friends at Fluendo are the
main culprits in this deal, as they are the ones pushing their own
semi-proprietary product.
