“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?””
