When connection is placed before profit, incredible things happen. Humanity is rediscovered. Societies shift. Countries are saved. But, perhaps most telling in this profit driven world, is that organisational and revenue sustainability is also unearthed. Connection positively affects the bottom-line. It literally pays to prioritise connection.
The challenge before us is to create authentic connection as a priority, within the fibre and operating systems of all corporate, charity, religious, educational and political structures. This will support and deepen the work done by us, the ordinary, garden variety people.
We have included a few technical notes, guidelines and suggestions for corporates, non-profits, schools and churches on how to build Ubuntu Links, and to adopt an Ubuntu Link policy. These guidelines will be updated as we learn more about the intricacies of committing to organisational Ubuntu.

Corporate and NPC
industrial level connection
Corporate Social Investment budgets have for too long been directed towards serving internal marketing directives, or handed over to high profile non-profits, which also feeds internal marketing directives. As a corporate, you have the capacity and the resources to create Ubuntu Links on an industrial scale. CSI budgets can be directed towards enabling your employees to establish and sustain Ubuntu Links in their personal capacities. This will allow you, as a corporate, the opportunity to host events where your employees and their Ubuntu Links meet and share time together. This is connection at an industrial scale. This is authentic marketing and publicity. It resonates with your audience at a level that cannot be achieved through traditional marketing avenues.
compliance
Corporates have the capacity and resources to drive the ethic of Ubuntu forward, very rapidly. Your reach and influence is without question. That said, #ubuntulink is growing independently of corporate participation, and will continue to do so. As a corporate, you have an opportunity to embrace #ubuntulink and to adopt Ubuntu Compliance as a recognisable CSI ethic.
branding
Include the Ubuntu Link logo on your packaging, within advertising material, and within the fabric of corporate communication. Spread #ubuntulink as a global ethic of connection and change.
