This really make me laugh, I'm spanish native, and "Ubuntero", yes,
sounds like a male Ubuntu fan, but, Who matters? I don't since I'm proud
to be Ubuntero, even I'm female.
I agree with many people, this isnt important to the Ubuntu comunity,
and if it is... we should know what it means and how to translate it to
it's original meaning.
