Community response of new ubuntu artwork

[Ben Edwards]

We live in an information society and those who control the technology
behind that society have a great impact on that society.  Along with
technology the other thing that shapes a society is the media. 
Microsoft knows this and has a foot in both camps.  The alternative is
for technology and media to be shaped by grass roots community's -
like the open source community.
