| To me, the Code of Conduct represents Ubuntu's common themes. I take it more seriously than I did when I 1st signed it. The CoC also tries to capture the bigger picture, it's not perfect, and has some kinks, but is a great ideal to strive for. | |

| ## Someone in Cali had planned to have a local Team table at OSCON. Due to work they could not attend. I stepped forward and helped organize it. I arranged for SWAG to be donated to draw folks in. The booth had people from Cali, Washington, and a few other people that helped share the Spirit of Ubuntu. We gave out almost 500 hundred CDs. They arrived late, ( my fault on that) I still owe 20 bucks for them being re-shipped to Oregon from down south. ##I could no sooner abandon my belief that all people are equal, that color is not important, who people choose to love is nobody's business, that women are equal and should be given a fair shake to prove their worth, and that redemptions should always be possible. You have a right to believe in God(s), Goddeses, or nothing at all, that is your right to express *who* you are. |

I believe in the power of FOSS
I am what I am because of what we all are
Open Source "We chose the name Ubuntu for our distribution because we think it captures perfectly the spirit of the sharing and cooperation that is at the heart of the open source movement."
It's a movement.
My journey into Open Source began with an interest in some cool programs Gimp, & some other stuff I knew had some sort of philosophy behind it. I tried to get it working on Linux, with various results.
OPEN SOURCE extends some of these ideas into a legal framework.
My goal was to start a dialogue with idealists, geeks & creative types
CREATIVE COMMONS is a great example of the spirit of open source. Transparency is not a ship that steers itself. Citizens must be involved, follow up, & be engaged If we truly want to create change; it takes involvement. Larry Lessig is doing what he does well - creating a dialog & forcing people to examine their surroundings.
There are many common themes in community developed software. Sometimes we can miss them when we represent personal interests - at the wrong time. To help your cause, you may need to represent the bigger picture. It will help your sacred cow in the long run anyway.
Sharing Ubuntu
The Ubuntu Philosophy can be great. I like it so much I volunteer to go teach others about it. Open Source is a philosophy, one that I continue to learn more about . Linux needs a to appeal to more than just a niche group. It's not just about computers or software, it is especially about people.
