"Nearly everyone I've met through Ubuntu in the last
five years cites the community as the single major reason for their
use. In many aspects, Ubuntu is technically equal to its
competitors, but nowhere else will you find the same level of
community support. Nowhere else will you find the same level of
friendship and positive atmosphere.
"Over the last five years I have tested many alternate Linux
distributions and I have yet to find any other community that is as
accepting, or that goes out of their way to invite you into the
group. The Ubuntu community has so many people actively engaged in
trying to provide a positive environment, it is truly amazing. If
you find yourself at an Ubuntu event, don't be surprised if you
actually see hugs! And watch out, it is contagious!
"The source of this positive community atmosphere is the
guidance of the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. From the beginning, Ubuntu
has had a Code of Conduct, and active contributing community
members are expected to understand and sign the document. By
outlining in clear terms what is expected of a community member,
and keeping it forefront in members minds, Ubuntu is able to foster
an atmosphere of mutual respect. This one simple document is what
sets Ubuntu apart from every other online community. Sure you can
find a community of contributors to any project, but nowhere else
will you find the same respect and welcoming atmosphere that you'll
find in Ubuntu."
