"In a blog post earlier this year, Ubuntu Community Manager Jono Bacon says the idea came about as a way to put the distro's example-content package to good use. "[The example-content] package provides a bunch of different pieces of content including audio, video, PDFs, OpenOffice.org documents and more. The idea is that you can use this content to kickstart your new Ubuntu system and see what it can do. example-content has been really useful, but it has been languishing a little recently, and then we had a rather interesting idea...Why not use example-content as a great way to show off audio and video from free culture artists?""
