At RealNEO the concepts of openness, sharing and community are realized not just in how we as a group of people interact, but also in the tools we use. The best example of one of these tools is the software used on many of the team members notebooks.
The operating system is Linux, but more specifically it is Ubuntu [1]. This version of Linux is based in Africa, and means much more than most people realize. I came across a video on YouTube [2] that I believe will help explain the meaning better than I can articulate.
