Where are the Canonical Partners in Software Center (other than Fluendo)?

What software do you desire?

Historically, I've used Adobe's Flash Plugin and Reader and also Skype. I can grab them at their vendor sites, but having it in the Partner section of the Software Center made it that much more user friendly.

you don't need additional repos for flash, the stock repos will install flash if you run:

sudo apt-get install flashpluin-nonfree

for skype I've always found:

cd; wget -O skype.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-32; sudo dpkg -i ./skype.deb; rm ./skype.deb; sudo apt-get -y -i install

Works fine. It's in the partner repo though:

andy@D420:~$ apt-cache policy skype
skype:
  Installed: 2.2.0.25-1
  Candidate: 2.2.0.25-1maverick1
  Version table:
     2.2.0.25-1maverick1 0
        500 http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ natty/partner i386 Packages
 *** 2.2.0.25-1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I guess my comment wasn't really clear. Personally, I am able to get Skype and Flash the old fashioned way (as you note above), but I'm thinking about the proverbial grandmother trying to load it. In Lucid, someone's grandmother (or my 82 yr. old dad) could go to the Ubuntu Software Center and click on the Canonical Partners icon and the above-noted programs would show in the right hand panel with an option to install. In Natty, it's back to synaptic or apt-get... which isn't as "granny-friendly" as is Lucid.

Ok, I see there's a link at the bottom of software center that allows one to hide or show extra packages. When I hit that option the Skype, Adobe, Java, etc... packages are displayed. My bad for not noticing that earlier, but for the record, granny might not notice that either. Thanks much.

Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question.
