Ubuntu: What's in a Name?
What's in a name? That which we call Ubuntu by any other name...
Ok so it's a corny use of Shakespeare's quote "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." However in the case of Ubuntu 10.04, codenamed Lucid Lynx I'd have to say helping out an endanger species was all in the name.
Over on the Canonical Website you can read about how the Ubuntu Community with matching funds from Canonical of up to $1004.00 USD is helping save lives - lives of the Iberian Lynx.
According to the article, "Canonical announced that they would donate a percentage of sales (for songs) from the Ubuntu One Music Store, as well as from sales of the Lynx plushie toys available on the Ubuntu shop (to a maximum of US$1004) to the SOS Lynx charity in Portugal, to help save the Iberian Lynx. So thanks to your support, we’ve been able to make the contribution on behalf of the Ubuntu community."
