There seems to be a number of people that do not like Canonical and Mark Shuttleworth.  I'm not going to express my opinions just yet, but thought that it may be interesting to present two stories I read over the weekend.

Adam Williamson's "Why I don't like Canonical" and the response from Canonical's Community Manager, Jono Bacon.

Have a read, and comment with your thoughts, I'd be interested to hear opinions.

Only 8 years later since I first started delving into Linux, and I have finally realised that I need to do give something back to the community that I am so fond of.  Sure, I have advocated and told as many people as I possibly could tell, but I need to do something a little more serious.

So, I am now officially a member of the Ubuntu Documentation Student Team and am being mentored through my first Document Revision. YAY

I will fill you in on the progress as things progress, but here we go :-)

Remember, if you too want to contribute to Ubuntu then visit the Community website and find an area that interests you.  Or join a LUG/Mailing List in your area.
