I recently attended the Mesh 2007 Conference in Toronto with many notable keynotes and guests. One of the more interesting presentations I attended was 'The Web and Philanthropy'. It was a conversation led by Rob Hyndman with Tom Williams and Austin Hill, two people who are doing a lot to facilitate philanthropy online.

I promised to come back and visit the community aspect of Ubuntu because I feel that it is an underrated feature of this OS. I'm sure most of you have had an experience where you are trying to do something with Windows and you just cant seem to figure it out. I have been in that situation many times and I have always been kind of discouraged with the amount of support that I can get. Its not that the answers are not out there, because for the most part they are, but you can only really rely on google to find them.
