Bigger, better things - more exposure of ubuntu .

Be aware: Jono Bacon as one of the authors of the 1st ubuntu handbook:
The Official ubuntu Book
copyright 2007 Canonical
dapper drake release 6.06

And has continued to be instrumental in what is ubuntu today.

My Gosh I feel very sad:(!
Not sure if this has been already posted, If so forgive me for the double.
From here (http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20140526#news)

Fedora was not the only open-source project to lose a valuable member last week. Jono Bacon posted on his blog (http://www.jonobacon.org/2014/05/19/goodbye-canonical-hello-xprize/) that he will be stepping down as
Ubuntu (http://distrowatch.com/ubuntu) Community Manager and taking a role with the XPRIZE Foundation (http://www.xprize.org/). Bacon looked back on his time working with the Ubuntu community fondly, stating,
"Working with the Ubuntu community has not just been a privilege, it has been a pleasure. One of the many reasons why I love what I do is that I am exposed
to so many incredible people, minds, and ideas, and the Ubuntu community is a text-book definition of what makes community so powerful and such an agent
for making the world a better place. I will be forever thankful for not just the opportunity to meet so many different members of the global Ubuntu family,
but to also continue these many friendships into my next endeavour."
I feel these are going to be shoes hard to fill? What a class act he was..
Regards Rick.
