Vague

A bit vague, as a matter of fact. Either things are missing from the news, or they didn't happen.

I didn't skip anything, but when the big talks in Germany result in scheduling other talks in France this is what most people call 'vague'. And the part about hiring contains as much precise information as 'will hire some developers some time in the future', which is at best inconclusive and at worst meaningless.

Be patient, it will become more concrete in the next weeks.

it seems that this was in essence a relationship building event. it builds upon the efforts and successes of the kubuntu team and the growth of canonical's linux play. it's a milestone, nothing more or less. aside from relationship building, the key events that took place imho include:

announcing that kubuntu will be on shipit
mark publicly expressed that his company's support extends beyond just gnome (wearing the kde shirt on stage, talking about it with the media, etc)

not everything is about code all the time. sometimes it's about more "ephemeral" things like mechanisms of distribution ....

- announcing that kubuntu will be on shipit

this is the most important thing announced, I belive.
There is a LOT of people I know that have windows on their machines, but use sometimes a ubuntu live-cd to play with linux, but today this means they play with gnome, and I belive some of them could be happier with linux if using KDE.

Never forgetting, here in Brazil, the number one live-cd distro is Kurumin, that used KDE and Knopix as base, conectiva/mandriva uses KDE, if there where kubuntu live-cds floating around, probally more people would use linux here.
