## 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 is a symbol of the Sumerian Palm with nine fronds, surrounded by Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
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.
