The Ubuntu community is awesome in so many ways. Without its welcomeness, contributions and commitment Ubuntu wouldn't be the platform it is today. A passionate group of makers spurring local events, developing apps for new drone projects and porting Ubuntu to new phones!

One of our visions is to continually create and share solutions in the space of IoT, partnering with like-minded technology companies. Recently we collaborated with Intel to create a developer platform that makes it easy to test and create IoT solutions.
The Ubuntu core image for Intel® NUC DE3815TY is here! The Intel® NUC is a mini PC built with smart packaging that's ideal for digital displays and retail kiosks, acting as a people counting device and / or bluetooth beacon just by installing a few apps. Added bonus is that's its super affordable! This marks the beginning of more partnerships as we move deeper into the space of creating IoT solutions. Learn more here.
We highly value working with Startups and want to showcase our growing relationship between Ubuntu Core and the maker community. This was ever present at MWC where we had a range of companies across verticals from smart cities to autonomous drones - it was vast! Ubuntu Core can help Startups build an internet of revenue generating things and through this we aim to support so they can shine!
