Winning Formula

I just want to say a big well done! to our friends in the Ubuntu Forums for bagging the Best Support Resource in the Linux Format awards in issue LXF115. The forums community managed to beat the mighty Google. Pretty impressive stuff!

All of us in the Ubuntu community are so proud of the excellent work that goes on in the Ubuntu Forums. 6.5million posts and counting, 745,000 members and growing…the forums are a hugely valuable resource for Ubuntu and the Ubuntu ethos. They provide an important home for many of our community members. Thank you to Forums Council, the moderators and all the posters for earning the award.

I am also hugely proud to see that Ubuntu won the Best Distribution Award and Canonical bagged the Best Enterprise Award. Props also to the KDE team for rightly deserving the Free Software Project Of The Year award for their incredible work on KDE4.

What a great start to the year. Lets make 2009 really kick it.
