About the Uruk Project
The Uruk project is a highly motivated community of people sharing a strong interest in free
culture and free society.
We all help each other and share the common purpose of supporting and building free projects.
The Uruk project provides a list of goals our members follow in order to promote and strengthen free (as in
freedom!) software and culture.
The Uruk name was chosen in honor of Uruk (Warka) city in Iraq (Read More)
To indicate how the word "uruk" should be pronounced, we included an audio file:
The logo symbolizes the outline of the ziggurat of Anu in the city of Uruk combined with brackets to
express the origin and objectives of the project.
Our Project Goal is to:
- Establish and maintain free projects to support the free software community.
- Develop a free GNU/Linux distribution to meet the users' needs.
- Support the less common languages for the free software community.
- Spread the free software philosophy in places where such philosophy is weak.
- Focus on the accessibility to help all users, and in particular those with disabilities, operate their computers in the easiest way possible.
