For a few years now, I have been pretty outspoken as an Ubuntu advocate. Although lately I have been critical of some decisions made regarding Ubuntu, I am still an ardent supporter of the project and the community that comes together to make Ubuntu what it is.
For me, Ubuntu is much more than just an operating system. It is a community that strives to be inclusive to people from every walk of life while bringing them together to celebrate open source in the form of a crisp desktop that is a true citizen among its proprietary competitors all while offering a variety of community flavors, cloud magic (Juju), and now the ever popular mobile platforms.
One common theme among open source projects, even Ubuntu, is that despite our common passion for the project, we are all individuals who are assertive and dogmatic in our opinions and we may not always agree but our debate is always with the best intentions in mind.
