been a team effort with the shared goal of delivering the very best free
software experience to the very widest possible audience. May Hardy be both
enduring and endearing.

I'm very conscious of the fact that Ubuntu is the pointy edge of a very
large wedge - we are the conduit, but we exist only because of the
extraordinary dedication and effort of thousands of other communities and
projects. We all *owe a great deal to the team who make Debian's "unstable"
repository* possible, and of course to the upstream projects from *GNOME and
KDE through to the Linux kernel*. We hope you will be proud of the condition
in which we have carried your excellent work through to the users of Ubuntu.

So, well done everybody! I hope that friends, family, colleagues and others
will have the opportunity to try it out and understand why we have all
devoted so much to this project. Our work is deeply important - we are
helping to bring free software to a new level of acceptance and adoption in
the wider world.  Ubuntu's success adds to the success of free software. So
as much as it is fun, challenging, the opportunity of a lifetime, a
profession for some and a passion for others, it's also changing the world.
I don't exactly want to shout "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" but to
me you are all Heroes.

Mark

				<p>Hearty <strong>congratulations to the entire Ubuntu community</strong>
on the successful launch of 8.04 LTS. This was our best release cycle
ever, from the planning at UDS-Boston last year, at which we had many
different teams and companies, to the beta process which attracted so
much in the way of testing and patches. I think we can be justifiably
proud of the quality of 8.04 LTS. From the code to the documentation,
from translations to advocacy, this has been a team effort with the
shared goal of delivering the very best free software experience to the
very widest possible audience. May Hardy be both enduring and endearing.</p>
