Canonical could use their connection with Dell to push Macromedia/Adobe.

Gnash is Free Software, which means it can be bundled with Ubuntu. One step closer to getting Ubuntu to work out of the box.

just wait, because Adobe is just starting to develop for Linux, and they've spend a lot of time with windows to get this right, so its a matter of time.

so what should canonical do is just to offer Adobe for some help if they need, but working on Flash again will be waste of time and effort.

I list SWFDec(which actually works better for me) because Gnash has already been listed(and I voted for that as well). Adobe will only release their Flash code once the FOSS alternatives catch up to their software(think Sun and Java). Creating a team to work with Adobe WHILE they are keeping it closed source is a waste of time and resources that would be better served(and more coercive to Adobe) working on the FOSS alternatives.

HTML 5 includes native video support, scalable graphics, and other neato things. Basically the aim is to provide all the beautiful stuff we use on the web today without having to resort to some binary, unaccessible plugin.

When was the last time you saw a search engine tunnel through links in a Flash website?
--
HTML 5 is something that Canonical is able to assist with and support. Its a W3C, international standards kinda thing. It is where the web is headed.. or at least should head.Remember folks, the web got big due to accessible protocols..
--
We cannot let the future be run on closed platforms like Flash or Silverlight.
--
Think Javascript + scalable graphics + native video support all without plugins! Improve the open stuff, not beg the proprietary vendors for more. It's not the GNU/free way.

Mozilla and Wikimedia are working on the ogg video format to replace flash videos. This could be a viable alternative with a little bit of time and a lot of support from the community.

If someone can find the link on this, please post in the comments.
