I dunno how long it's been there but something new appeared in the prose section about the Ubuntu party. It's pretty cool.

It's very well thought out, it's like an official information leaflet. It's cool to see the BP story being padded out.

BTW I'd read a draft of this dossier a few months ago... Didn't you originally post it in this forum, General?

Anyway, good stuff. :yes:

Consider that to be a condensed version of the awesomeness that is Battuta's brain, coupled with the discussions we had about the question "What is Ubuntu?" in internal.

Yes, he did. When I pointed it out to him, he moved it into internal reaaaaaly fast.

There are a couple of typos.
 
Materiel and founder. I believe they should be material and flounder respectively.

Neither one is a typo.

'Founder' means 'to sink'. 'Materiel' is a term for logistical supplies in war and commerce - basically, materiel = war material. It's derived from French.

Ahem. Quite a lot of information here. It'll be long to digest, but not painful at all :)

I really like how you guys have made this enormous background for the BP saga. Really gives it that... er... potential FS3 feeling.
