Engage the World

After 5 years

Posted in F/OSS, Ubuntu by Jerome on October 21, 2009

After seeing the Ubuntu Down Under group pic that Jorge posted in his blog (we were much younger then), It’s great to see that the Ubuntu community has grown and matured to leaps and bounds in only 5 years after the first release came out. Being a witness and participant to its growth had made me a much better person in attitude and career.  I must also say that the time I was most active with Ubuntu are perhaps one of the most thrilling, if not the best years of my life. Serving the Community Council before was a great honor and seeing a new version of the Code of Conduct only shows that community is a continuous cycle of improvement.

I may have taken a different path and not that much active in community now, but I’ll definitely never forget the lessons of friendship (lots of friends!), hard work and perseverance that Ubuntu taught me as being part of a global community. Onward to the next 5 years of successful releases!
