Ubuntu Tribe the movie (http://www.ubuntutribe.com) is inspired in the Basque free software developers community, which actually has a lot of handicaps adapting the language to the fast changes of the new technologies.

But the effort of this community has made the Basque language not to be threw away, so far, from the information technologies train. In fact, the develop and use of all kind of applications is proportionally much bigger than the real Basque speaking population.

Privative Software.

Captivated by the good doing of the virtuous developer, he will try to offer a contract at any price, moving to the old continent. Just arrived, he will begin prowling the young girl, who is totally reticent to enter the club of Redmond because of her convictions in favor of free software. The businessman will start bombing her with substantial economic supplies. Without trying it, he will begin to know the social environment where Izaro moves. A humble life, promoting free operating systems in schools and homes of pensioners.

The active and practically altruistic militancy of Izaro will captive Billy, who quickly falls in love with her and starts to know how the Basque speakers world of free software moves.

The stay of the person in charge of Wista is extended more of the awaited, and in the company of Redmond are worried.
