Ubuntu (the project) is collaborative. We all make it what it is. Many of you know that, but I still encounter people on a daily basis both online and off who have not realized this (yet). I often hear gripes about Ubuntu not being this or that, but I don't hear enough constructive discussion and "creation" of the Ubuntu we want.
Let's change that. Ubuntu is what we make it. Do you want to live in a world where you have no say in your technology? (Redmond and Cupertino come to mind. I've been to both, and they're *not* fun.)
So, why post this now? Well, we're coming up to the Ubuntu Developer Summit (Precise Pangolin edition) where the future of Ubuntu will be discussed.
The Ubuntu community (of developers, designers, artists, advocates, community leaders, translators, managers, documenters, hackers, and others) comes together at UDS-P to collaborate. To do this they use Blueprints. The Blueprints are public and are posted here:

Please take a look. Read through them. See what the Blueprints say. Add your thoughts. Join the discussion. Help change the world.
