Canonical, the parent company of Ubuntu Linux, is doing better than ever according to founder and CEO Mark Shuttleworth. Indeed, Canonical is now “self-sustaining.” That is, “We’re now well past the point where Ubuntu and all its supporting systems and infrastructure are dependent on me, said Shuttleworth. “If I were to meet my maker tomorrow. Ubuntu will continue in the very capable hands of the team at Canonical and the community.”
