Summary

In addition to building a great OS that many use, Ubuntu has grown into an OS that those building other OS use as a basis to build from. This has come in the form of both internal partner projects and external derivative distributions. Together, these span languages, continents, and markets. Additionally, Ubuntu is tightly linked to Canonical Ltd.'s other projects, Launchpad and Bazaar. While Bazaar provides a compelling version control system, the Launchpad provides a one-stop show for bugs, translations, and much more.
