The Ubuntu Women Project have announced an exciting new competition as part of the World Play day initiative on May 28th ” with a shiny new netbook up for grabs!
"We would love to have a collection of examples of young girls (toddlers through to 12 years old) playing with — and loving, and being encouraged to pursue — Ubuntu. This would allow parents of girls to demonstrate that it really is ok to be intrigued by the shiny screens, blinking lights, tappity-tap of keyboards, and faint whirs of computer fans." ~ Ubuntu Women Wiki
The competition
All you need to do join in the celebratory message and potentially nab yourself that computer is take/submit a photo of your little sister, baby niece or young daughter (toddlers through 12 years old) “…playing with and loving Ubuntu.”
The Prizes
Two prizes are up for grabs. The community choice winner will receive a brand new spanking Ubuntu-powered netbook whilst one lucky random winner will find themselves in receipt of a swag bag full of Ubuntu-branded loot.
Baby Steps
Best of all it’s incredibly easy to get involved and nab that awesome prize of a new netbook.
