Vincent, a Xubuntu contributor, pointed me at a piece in Issue #32 of the Full Circle Magazine called “Classroom Experiences”. This article, written by Anthony Parr, is a story of one teacher’s classroom experiences using Xubuntu and open source software. It was extraordinarily heart warming and I encourage folks to check it out.

Xubuntu is a perfect fit for my students. I’m grateful to the Ubuntu community for it, and to the community of talented people creating phenomenal open-source applications. Without Xubuntu, my successes as a teacher would be less. The volume and scope of our students’ success stories could fill up a great deal more space, but for now I just wanted to express what a fantastic effect the open-source community and Xubuntu have had on my students’ lives.

If you’ve ever had to question why you contribute to Open Source Software, look no further then the children.
