Ubuntu Open Week
Include(UbuntuOpenWeek/Header)
Taking place from Mon 22nd Oct - Sat 27th Oct on IRC in #ubuntu-classroom.
If you are in a session, please read the [:UbuntuOpenWeek/Rules:Rules Guidelines]
Welcome to the Ubuntu Open Week!
[http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu] is a freely available, simple to use Linux desktop and server. The Ubuntu project has developed a strong reputation for technical excellence and a commitment to the free software community, and we are always keen to grow and extend our community where possible. Ubuntu does not distinguish between different Enterprise and Open versions - we have one single version of Ubuntu, and this version is and will always be entirely free. Ubuntu is used by over 8 million people and has a worldwide community of volunteers who contribute in many different areas such as packaging, documentation, art, translations, testing, marketing and more.
Find out more about the Ubuntu [http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop desktop] or [http://www.ubuntu.com/server server] and [http://www.ubuntu.com/download download] them.
