17/06: Ubuntu
Archbishop Desmond Tutu describes the meaning of ubuntu in the new Vanity Fair:
"We say a person is a person through other persons. You can't be human in isolation. You are human only in relationships."
For me ubuntu means acknowledging my dependence on others, the awareness that I can't accomplish with out you, the work that must be done. May we walk in the strength of togetherness. Being alone hurts us all.

As we grow more connected through technologies, we are empowered to discover, learn and celebrate the human achievement. Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web are the progressive results of the "human" touch to the net. We are learning from each other how we want the net to respond to our information requests and how to share information more efficiently.
We are seeing communities adapt technologies faster than ever before thanks to the ability to discuss desires and ideas. When Twitter hit the scene, there were some who said 'that's great, but what if...' The latest collaborative efforts to adapt good ideas into a better reality include TweetDeck and the RSS reader Feedly. Both of these adaptations allow us to share our discovered information with our social communities.
Nelson Mandela states it best, "A traveler through a country would stop at a village and he didn't have to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food, entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu but it will have various aspects. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not address themselves. The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you be able to improve?"
Share your knowledge of life today, dance with the hope that we are growing together!

Tonight's episode was my first effort of expressing a live Documentary Film.
This is what Umbuntu looks like to me. - msw
