One of the core reasons I am involved and contribute as productively as possible to the Ubuntu Community is its Ethos.

I have a very strong opinion that everyone should be enabled to provide and support each other and use their skills and successes to provide support to the community around them. This isnt something that can be mandated by a Government or enforced by a committee. The action of helping your neighbour or a stranger goes a long way to ensuring that your own community benefits and grows.
