Making Ubuntu More Personal

“Community is a deeply personal experience. While write
communities such as Open Source get together to make things (as
opposed to read communities who consume content together), the
attraction and thrill is only partially in the collaboration. What
really makes write communities fun are the personal relationships
that develop; what starts as nicknames on a screen shortly burst
with life and become friends who we enjoy spending time with,
sharing our ideas with, and in many cases relying on to help us
through tough patches of our lives. The very reason Open Source and
community attracted me in the first place is that this is not just
boring, cold, and unfeeling computing, it is computing driven by
people who share their humanity to make the world a better
place.

“I like that.

” like that a lot, and I think lots of you good people do
too.”
