I would like to donate a lot of my time over the next few years to helping open

Question

I would like to donate a lot of my time over the next few years to helping open source hold its own against closed systems like the iPhone and iPad in the mobile and appliance computing space.

If that's my goal, what's the better strategy -- to do development work for Android or for Ubuntu? I know Ubuntu is behind on the mobile front, but they work great on netbooks and are gradually moving into the tablet space.

Any suggestions? I'm primarily a Ruby programmer who has done a lot of iOS programming.

Explanation / Answer

I wouldn't go into thing like ubuntu. This can fall down as fast as it goes up. Go for debian, (which ubuntu is based on so will also benefit from your actions) or cross distro/plateforms tools (helping gnome/kde for exemple). Anyway, just testing, submiting patches when you encounter a problem, this is already something !
