Understanding Check Step 1: How Participation Works

These seven short pages check that Ubuntu Goats is clear to you. Read or listen, then answer a few simple questions. This is not an exam. If something is not clear, ask us.

Please enter your full name and community, and answer all four questions correctly before you continue.

How it works

It is your choice

You decide if you want to take part. Doing this check does not mean that you have joined Ubuntu Goats or accepted a goat.

Ask if something is not clear

You may ask questions at any time. Do not say yes until you understand what Ubuntu Goats asks from you.

Five women work together

Five women each receive a goat of their own. They also work together, help each other and help another woman begin later.

All five women are equal

If you take part, you work with four other women. All five women are equal. No woman is the boss.
