About Ubuntu
I have been following Ubuntu since its first release 4.10 and I have been playing on/off until I performed my first job with Ubuntu 5.10 in Jan/2006. Also, I taught GNU/Linux courses using Ubuntu 6.04 to Ubuntu 7.04 at UNIR, Fudacite Zulia and URBE in Maracaibo, Venezuela. In Aug/2008, I bought my first laptop with Ubuntu 8.04 pre-loaded (now, Ubuntu 11.04) in Montreal, Canada
I think there is a good community (Ubuntu) / company (Canonical) relationship and balance. I appreciate all the hard work made by developers, promoters and end-users to make Ubuntu a great distro that I use for everyday activities (@home and @work). Hence, I would like to contribute more in the near future
