I have been following this with lots of interest and. although I am
unable physically to take part, the idea is great. I was wondering if it
would be an idea to add something somewhere to bring to the notice of
possible participants that Ubuntu is not just an operating system but a
whole lot of useful applications as well. After all, a free operating
system is one thing but free software such as Openoffice is quite a
bonus.
