So, why don’t we promote some other free & open projects there?
Off the top of a list of bookmarks I keep at http://j.mp/free-bookmarks

http://identi.ca
http://titanpad.com
http://libre.fm
http://wikipedia.org
http://flossmanuals.net
http://oercommons.org
http://theleagueofmoveabletype.com
http://openfontlibrary.org
http://wikitravel.org
http://couchsurfing.org
http://freecycle.org

When they already have Ubuntu, we should help them dive deeper into the free
society. I know it took long for me to get to know all these massively
useful sites.

On the current bookmarks:
Why ubuntulinux.org and not just call it ubuntu.com like it is everywhere
else?
Launchpad answers should definitely stay! The direct connection to
everything else (including frequently asked questions) makes it much easier
to operate than a forum.
I’m not entirely sure on Debian. If that is there, GNOME should be too.
