It has NOTHING to do with Ubuntu. Everything in that folder should be about Ubuntu, to show the passion of the developers.

Honestly, what's the purpose of this folder? Let's not confuse the users.

By this, I mean, include resources that not only demonstrate what Ubuntu is, but also add some tutorial content to the folder.

Of course, the devs will need to make sure there is a way to quickly update these videos/tutorials with each new release.

This folder is a ugly solution...

Just show a video example (similar like windows), show an application telling you something like "You want know more about Ubuntu?" And a button saying "Watch Video".

Displaying a speedy pass for each application.
Ex: Using common things on OpenOffice, listening music on Rhythmbox, Watching videos on Totem... etc)

And... thats important, showing a "easy to use" and "comfortable" feeling to the user.

A small extra idea: Show professional and common users using Ubuntu on scenes like Rhythmbox or Pitivi.

The main purpose of the Example folder is that on a fresh system there is something to play with. How else would you try out the Videoplayer of an OS you are not familiar with, if there are no files.
However I think its better to put these files into the appropriate folder for the type of file, so the video goes into Video folder and documents go to Documents folder. Thus we can remove the Example folder and there is a little to explore for the new user.

Bring in bigger corporations that are using it and how they are using it. Add a video that goes with the current theme of Ubuntu, add background information, like a video with some of the developers, since Ubuntu is founded on african tradition, add some native music to the folder or you could base it on the country where the animal is from that the release is named after.

Put simply: Change the examples folder to match the distrobution it's on.

A good idea for helping new users is: put the Ubuntu Manual
( http://ubuntu-manual.org ) in the folder and add some other files (Solution #1)
