Abstract
Ubuntu is the result of tens of thousands of software projects coming together and receiving polish and integration. From the incredible work done by the Debian project to the focused effort by the Ubuntu community, this takes time and care. Canonical drives much of the design for the Unity interface and the foundational work done to support cloud, server, phone, and embedded platforms. But the bulk of the actual development and coding is done by the greater Free Software community.
