What is Ubuntu? its a society structure not based on money but on community involvement. Each person donating a small portion of there time in the week to help the community in exchange for basically living free. People would be more driven toward creation and invention in the ideal with less stress and more time on there hands. There are many who say the technology already exists to create this type of society today with what we already commonly know here on earth. There are others that believe we are being with held technology from the government and other forces, that would make a society like this almost inevitable.
What do you guys think about this concept?
is this the future? Will breaking technology soon bring us to place where this is possible?
I first heard of the word 'Ubuntu' when I joined the Linux community. 'Ubuntu' was co-opted into the service of an open-source movement. I actually enjoyed the feeling of being part of a community of giving in that time. It was like a gift of an operating system to the world for the purpose of empowering all people to have access to information.
I like the ideas presented on the website link you provide. I guess in my older years I'm more inclined to be skeptical of utopian ideals. So I like the idea, but I don't want to be possessed by it. It is a worthy aim, but not the goal itself.

I use Ubuntu one of my desktops. It's a great OS and the concept of Ubuntu is equally awesome.

It's easy for me. Been using it for a long time. I pretty much use only linux. Different distros on different machines.

I'm not so inclined, I've changed my views on the wipe it all clean and start with no emotion :D , many people are rooted to their culture, there is no viable way I can think of other than different society structures working together , ie the venus community buys land and makes it their place of work.
His ideas are awesome , a bit too ahead of his time and far away from where most people are going, he seems like a guy really disenfranchised with everything so far, he doesn't like society as it is , as it was before , culture and other factors , disregards history , I'm not being harsh or anything , those are my thoughts on their latest movie "The Choice is Ours" , I love it , I love the permaculture route, the global networks I'm not so sure about, It's a utopian view that requires too many changes in too many places and different steps , there isn't a coder that can make such a Artificial Intelligence to sort out everything we would like and that is the final nail in the coffin for me, call it ego , I think we need to solve our problems together, not with help from central hubs, his argument against conflict is no emotion, but you cant teach that to anyone and I would really miss the old ways if I had the experience.

The way technology is going paired with capitalism would pretty much accomplish the missions of these resource based economies. 3D printers as one example are the first step in bringing production into homes which will be a real game changer. Once food can be printed at home with inexpensive raw materials (which is possible with cultured meat, and vertical farms) and the cost of energy falls the future might just be too cheap to meter. And with all the basics are met and the desperation is removed, and the only times you would leave home are for truly voluntary interactions with people the social benefits will be enormous.
(Literal) food for thought:

The meat part is stretching it too much for me , I dislike direct influencing of anything, it's one thing to have a few cows and care for them farm and so on , it's another to be a wrapped package consumer , I would argue one is bad , simply because you are missing out, you aren't being there with the animal ,or more likely the producer , or at the very least at the distributor , you can never know where your food is grown and I hate the cross continent production and distribution , I would like to see more local communities , rather than a matrix , that makes both processes equal so to say.
The second video is news for me :) , I had ran into a few kickstarters trying out that idea but hadn't seen it in action. Looks like a good way to start production , or keep as a backup , when hails or drought can destroy your crops , but I like the old ways so to speak and think there is so much more we can explore rather than go for the easy solutions.
Going through the hurdles makes you stronger , or at the very least gives you experience. I would like to have people growing their food locally at their terraces even, but the land shouldn't be neglected.
Here is the latest thing which amazed me , found it a month ago.
