Details about Ubuntu and its goals can be found on the website.  In many
respects there is more information available about Ubuntu activity, and the
goals of the project, than about organizations which provide you with the
essentials of life.  Yet, you seem to trust them by default, while you
assume that Ubuntu seeks to cause you harm.  Why?

An announcement of what?  The release meeting, or Ubuntu?  You'd be wrong in
either case, as can be easily shown by mailing list archives.

who are working to solve well-known problems in Debian.
