    Ubuntu is the English Wikipedia article of the day

    Am I the only one who noticed this? I have to say it's pretty awesome.

    What's wrong with closed and open source co-exisiting?

    This is just great. Earlier I read about a Ubuntu banner advertise, now this... it's nice to see more and more people get to hear about Ubuntu.

    Ubuntu makes it to "Featured Article" on Wikipedia

    http://en.wikipedia.org , 5 August 2006

    What better publicity could we possibly imagine? This delights me indeed, more so considering my interest in Ubuntu Marketing

    I congratulate the authors!

    It's nice to see so much interest. However this is the third thread about this, the other two are here and here. Well since I saw this the third time today, I also blogged it here.

    Re: Ubuntu makes it to "Featured Article" on Wikipedia

    There've been a few *nix type articles that've made it to featured article status. I suspect this is beacause the Wikipedians that actually upkeep the site tend to be more tech oriented.
