Cristian, My heart goes out to all of you! Please know that you, the Chilean LoCo team and all those who are now dealing with devastating aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami are in the hearts and minds of the North Carolina LoCo team. May you all have the strength, wisdom and courage to make it through each moment as you face the task of picking up the pieces. May you all feel encircled by the thoughts, words, actions and compassion of the Ubuntu Community and that "Circle of Friendship" it represents. When I learned of the earthquake and saw the damage that you are now having to repair my heart sank, today when I read your email my eyes teared up. The Ubuntu Community is in fact as you describe, so much more than an operating system, it is a circle of friends indeed and without meeting you, I am as concerned for you and the Chilean LoCo team as I would be for the LoCo team I belong to here in North Carolina. As much as we celebrated the success within the Ubuntu Community, may we also find time to pause and show compassion in times like this. You and the whole Chilean LoCo team will be in our thoughts!

There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works, but only want to use it. That is a tribute to how good Linux is.
