@brunogirin I don’t see a design‐led culture at Canonical. -
@aral Unity and the phone interface are the result of design and user research: http://design.canonical.com/ -
@brunogirin Yes, Canonical are a features-led company where they’ve added user research to the process. They’re not _design‐led_. -
@aral They are migrating from one to the other, the phone UI is fully design led for instance and they will welcome contribution.

@aral What I am also asking is. What email client do we use. What search engine. Which social media option? - End of conversation

@aral It's open source. How do you stop folks spoiling your beautiful design with features? -
@robsmallshire They can fork it and spoil it all they like. You control your main repo and control your brand via trademarks.

@aral I very much agree with that. How to make it happen though… how do you get a distributed effort to accept designers saying no. -
@timharbour Perhaps the only way is to start something new up. - 1 more reply

@aral Realistically, you're not going to get coders to give up control unless you're paying. Open Source needs a rich, hands-off sponsor. -
@iain_simpson Nothing wrong with paying folks. Open source projects do it all the time :) Agree on sponsor(s). Won’t be hard to find. -
@aral Paying people on the scale that would be required to replace all the existing unpaid effort is no small task.
