There is, actually, a block of text that mentions it: “Ubuntu is, and always will be, absolutely free. Created by the best open-source experts from all over the world, Ubuntu is available in 24 languages and ready for download today.” I, for one, find the word “experts” maybe a little troublesome. Of course, the people who work on Ubuntu are brilliant, but just using that word makes the development community — and free software in general — sound a little exclusive. Like you have to be an expert to be involved. The whole thing sounds a little corporatey to me, really. It's a trope that conjurs an image of thousands of nameless employees working for a big machine that happens to have lots of offices. -- Dylan PS: While we're talking about the website, the dots in the carousel are still backwards compared to the animation. The problem is the float:right in “#u1104 .consumer-page .ubuntu-homepage .all-feats a, #u1104 .consumer-page .ubuntu-homepage .how-free a”. That rule is catching the dots by accident, when it really only wants to catch the “Take a closer look” link. You must go deeper :) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
