My Ubuntu Story
2007: I met Edubuntu 7.10 at my college school installed on pentium III in library way back in 2007 our school use many variants of Ubuntu such as xubuntu on computer laboratory, Ubuntu Studio on multimedia room, Edubuntu on library for research and Ubuntu Desktop for file Server in Technical room, I had even FOSS subjects there that influenced me to be a devotee.
2008: I'm Ubuntu Live CD user since 8.04 (I don't have machine that time, so I use to borrow from my neighbor, 
don't laugh but until now. Currently a full time user at work 
).
Loco Community
I attended Ubuntu Philippine Team's Parties': Ubuntu karmic and Lucid Lynx Release Party.
Advocating FOSS thru Ubuntu
Operating System is the foundation of application software. therefore, I believe that if everyone will use Ubuntu then they will probably use FOSS applications too. (or proprietary software will be minimize).
