Ubuntu One is a suite of online services from Canonical.

Ubuntu One offers integration with Evolution for syncing contacts and with Tomboy for notes due to the access to the local CouchDB instance. Further possibilities include the capability of editing the contacts, as well as the Tomboy notes, online via the Ubuntu One Web interface.

TechnicalDetails
For a detailed and technical explanation of some of the pieces that make Ubuntu One click here.
Note: Because the "Ubuntu One" branding is non-specific and because most of the components do not have succinct official names, we'll use shorter (unique) names to succinctly identify each of the components and layers. You can find a table mapping these simple names to download packages and URLs here. (See the "storagefs" section for just how long-winded and suboptimal these actual names can get).
"Ubunet" was the original codename for the online services initiative (the Canonical department itself is called "Online Services"), and is the name of the Launchpad project encompassing the backend components (there is also a "control tower" group which is used when landing branches).

There are many ways you can contribute to the Ubuntu One project. Triaging bugs, uploading patches, answering questions on Launchpad are just a few of things you can do to help make Ubuntu One great.
