[Bug 890880] Re: Some text about the number of users implying the popularity of Ubuntu would be helpful

Nice idea! Thank you, Scott :)

If someone has any cool ideas for doing this, please drop them off here
or on the slideshow team mailing list. We could probably do a lot with
that message, which indeed has been rather missed so far.

Title:
  Some text about the number of users implying the popularity of Ubuntu
  would be helpful

Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At the UDS "making community obvious on the desktop" session, we were
  attempting to solve the problem that there are a lot of users who feel
  like they're somewhat alone in using Ubuntu, when in truth there are
  probably hundreds of other Ubuntu users nearby.

  One simple, actionable suggestion is to make the Installer slideshow
  give a brief note about the popularity and growth of Ubuntu (20
  million users or so according to the latest estimates).  This would
  help inform users that there is a much wider world out there of
  community support, involvement, and contribution.  Additionally, it
  would help provide social proof of Ubuntu and make people doing the
  install feel better about their decision :)
