Idea #1514: Thank you for ubuntu !

Written by tioum the 29 Feb 08 at 15:49. Category: Others. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
While requesting features to the open source community which consist mainly of free workers, we may often forget to say how much we like Ubuntu and look like costumers requesting.

So you can say thank you to the thousands of developers and users who gave their time by voting for this article :)

Solution #3: Create a guestbook
Written by Maxime7101 the 14 May 09 at 18:23.
I propose to create a guestbook.ubuntu.com where everyone can give his feels, such as brainstrom.ubuntu (not a forum !!!). I like, I hate... Why it is better than my previous OS, or why I leave Ubuntu... (Then, the guestbook should be in the own language of the user)

Solution #4: Facilitate the feedbacks

The homepage of firefox should link to guestbook.ubuntu.com. The user could easily post his comment, without have need to log in.

good intentions aside, this idea is pointless and adds noise to the site. There are many places to say kudos to developers.

Please, there's far too much pollution on this site. Let's stay on topic. Please?

Nice sentiment, but this isn't the place.

Ubukool wrote on the 3 Mar 08 at 09:20
Maybe not the best place to say it, but it needs to be said. Thanks to all you developers who work so hard to give us such a great Ubuntu experience!

mp3phish wrote on the 4 Mar 08 at 19:08
if this is just adding noise, then ignore it and that will help. Personally, the louder this idea gets (the higher it is voted up) the less noise it generates because it will be on the 'most popular' list and therefore won't be showing up in all the other good searches.

jojoman02 wrote on the 5 Mar 08 at 05:35
This IS the place b/c most developers heads start hurting seeing all these requests that must be filled so a little reminder in the middle that they are appreciated is not a bad thing. Remember Ubuntu is about people too. :)

Thank you to all the developers (whos hard work is the bloodline of this distro), brainstormers / creative thinkers, testers / regression testers, QA personal, translators, documenters, Linux community, Linus, Mark S., the beautiful Linux fans, users, haters (yes, we love you too), and anyone missed. We wouldn't be here without everyone one of you! BRAVO!

I would like to personally thank the Ubuntu developers for this, the finest of OS's, Ubuntu. I am going to school to learn programming and hope to one day contribute to the Ubuntu project. In the meantime, I try and give back by seeding Ubuntu (and other worthy distros) on Bittorrent 24/7 and I incourage others to do the same because this helps cut down on bandwidth costs.

Enorm bedankt!

Thanks al lot.

Redrazor39 wrote on the 18 Apr 08 at 22:04
Some of you don't understand; this IS an idea. the OP is suggesting we have a place where we can thank the developers for all their hard work, instead of having so many places. The OP just decided to use this idea as a place to say thanks for now.

Gwador wrote on the 18 Apr 08 at 23:47
Yep, we definitely need such a place to express our gratitude and hope for even better future (talking about the bug #1).

Thanks a lot for Your tremendous work, guys! It's unbelievable what You've already done to IT world, and keep doing it. Love.

Ubuntu Rocks - I am coming up on one full year of being PURE ubuntu at home, no windows boxes on my networks; I have even convinced my employer to allow my ubuntu laptop on his tight network once I demonstrated security standards and encryption Ubuntu offers.

Thanks for everyone's hard work in this initiative.

A first real alternative for desktop users
(not only coolhackers)! While not ideal yet,
it's talent grows exponentially fast.
When international date&time format in apps
be made useable (and I sure it will be), I be will
strongly recommend only Ubuntu for all my friends!!
Thank You All, from Russia!

I realised a few days ago, I have stopped fighting with Linux. I have been using for 2 years, it used to be painful, always configuring it or trying to get software /hardware working. Now it just works. Both Linux/Ubuntu have come a long way and also my education in Ubuntu.

Now things (almost all things) are simply pleasant and I hardly get annoyed anymore.

Thanks
