Ubuntu Community Documentation: CHANGELOG #1

[Manjul Apratim]

Thank you! I shall go ahead and make the commit to the main page - in the
event of any disagreement, we can always change the relevant portions.

Thanks for pointing me to the philosophy page - I had never wandered upon it
so far, but may I mention that this is just a testament to how awesome
Ubuntu's philosophy is in its execution, that just by having used it all
this time, I have imbibed what it is, and have independently chanced upon
pretty much the same ideas that has been described in the official
documentation!
