My interest in Ubuntu

I'm interested in the Ubuntu community spirit and relations and in helping to work build a community where the different parts work and talk together. I still believe that this is one of the great challenges for the Ubuntu community as it continues to grow at a fast rate.

I am a strong believer in the philosophical and practical benefits of free software and will defend the Ubuntu promise wherever I see it threatened.
