Hi Sam,

First, Thx for your work and it's good to see that's you want to contribute
to Ubuntu

I don't think a music is a good idea for a startup sound. The startup sound
have to be short. It's more... a sound. So the work to do is more like
sound design.

But I join Sid idea about a ringtone for Ubuntu phone. It could be great
with this great design phone. an high end ringtone. Ubuntu spirit is "I am
because we are", it's harmony, humanity and unity. If you're write a clean
melody with emotion, I think we'll have our future ringtone.

Best Regards,
Winael
