Hey!

We shamelessly borrowed the concept (and some of the animations) from the
Design Team video and made a promo for the Ubuntu Nicaragua LoCo Team. You
can see the final product here:

The song we used is 'Meboo' by Pitx:

If there's something I personally would love to see is the Design Team
taking more advantage of all the (excellent) free and open media resources
out there. There are great musicians who license their work under permissive
licenses that would be absolutely thrilled to collaborate with Canonical and
the Ubuntu Project.
