Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase

Have you heard about the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase?

The Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase is an opportunity to show off high quality free culture content in Ubuntu. At the heart of Ubuntu’s ethos is a belief in showcasing free software and free culture, and with each development cycle we open the opportunity for any Free Culture artist to put their work in front of millions of Ubuntu users around the world. Although the space restrictions are tight, and we are limited to how much content we can include, this is an excellent opportunity for artists everywhere.

You are invited to participate! The deadline for submissions is February 28th, 2010. If you are into Free Culture and want to participate, please check out the link and add your shiny, free content and you may find something you created included in Ubuntu.
