Describing PSEs as 'virtual team members' for an enterprise's internal Ubuntu support, the company says that they'll provide direct contact between corporations and the Ubuntu development community, and a path for escalation of 'more complex problems', such as those that occur in cutting-edge situations involving virtualization and cloud computing.
PSEs will also report to companies on Ubuntu developments and strategy, offer bi-weekly contact, multi-vendor co-ordination and help with deployment planning.
