It integrates all the different projects from the German Ubuntu-Community and so will make it more easy for beginners to find their way into the Community or the correct place to ask for help. http://ikhaya.ubuntuusers.de/2009/04/23/start-frei-fuer-ubuntu-de-org/, http://www.kubuntu-de.org/nachrichten/sonstiges/start-frei-fuer-ubuntu-de-org
