“Stan, who was also involved in the American Dairy Goat
Association Festival, talked to the other planners about Ubuntu.
Why you ask? Well it turns out the American Dairy Goat Association
raises goats to send to Africa. Why send goats to Africa, it’s a
way to help some to learn the skill of husbandry, and have a trade
skill. For more information on why these efforts are important

that Ubuntu has to South Africa, the Ubuntu Philosophy and what
“ubuntu” means they said we could give out information on
Ubuntu.

“There were somewhere between 1000-1500 people who passed
through the event on Saturday. People drove in from South Carolina,
Tennessee, and other places across North Carolina. There were small
business owners who talked to me about migrating to Ubuntu, the
Libraries are looking into Open Source alternatives, and I even
spoke to people who were wondering what using Open Source
alternatives could do for the local government.”
