Web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more
Ubuntu is an African word meaning 'Humanity to others', or 'I am what I am because of who we all are‘
The history of Ubuntu dates back to April 2004 when Mark Shuttleworth formed a group of open source developers to create a new Linux OS

OPEN SOURCE VERSUS PROPIETARY SOFT
• Open source differs from the proprietary software model in that it:– Encourages customisation and variation as opposed
to a one size fits many approach.– Relies on a 'services attached' business model rather
than per license and seat basis.– Believes that the benefits of collaboration and multi-
developer contribution outweigh those of controlled project work of smaller, paid developer teams.
