| === Over 6 Million Forum posts and counting === The forums continue to grow and be a vital part of the Ubuntu Community. Most of us have, at one time or another, have hunted for answers, or provided some technical support to the community through the forums. In fact, it's likely that most active community members got their start with Ubuntu by working the forums. Recently, stats show that over 6 million posts have been made to the forums, and they are closing in on 1 million threads. Like all the projects in the Ubuntu community, the forums are driven by people who care, and are committed to volunteering their time, and effort to make it the best. Thanks to everyone involved, and congratulations on braking the 6 million post mark! |

| ## Things Ubuntu-specific are great, but general Linux goings-on are good to, to an extent. ## We don't need to replicate Digg & Slashdot, but certain things are of special interest. ## Just pulling one example from my memory, the story about Indiana schools piloting ## a classroom Linux deployment, a portion of which was Ubuntu, are good. Ubuntu ## release reviews are also common items in this section. |

| ## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth. ## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here. ## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so. |
