What I meant the first paragraph to say was this:

    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 where I can contribute to a specific aspect 
    of the project on a code and policy level.
