Perhaps that's something we could focus on as a team (or a
sub-project)?  It's also allows people who may not normally be
involved in computing to contribute.

When I read the paragraph above I was thinking Welsh/Gaelic but you're
spot on - the UK culture is made up of such a mix of communities and
backgrounds.  As the Ubuntu UK team we want to be making Ubuntu
accessible to as many Brits as possible.

Does anyone have any knowledge/experience of community-connected work
with open-source?  Are there any specific selling points of
open-source that differ across groups or cultures?  What is the
competition? (e.g. Windows language support)
