As an IT consultant I've been able to contribute more to Ubuntu than any
distribution or project before. I can submit bugs, create patches,
provide user help and participate with a very low entry point. I can
become a member of a team

Over the years I've contributed to other projects, but never felt that
it was noticed - I'm not talking about a thank-you, just that when you
made a contribution, it was picked up, looked at, critiqued and used
where appropriate. Ubuntu does this better than any other group of
people I know.
