One of the composers that worked on the Mass Effect trilogy from Bioware has offered his help to write the music for the Ubuntu operating system.

The proposal has been made on the official Ubuntu mailing list by Sam Hulick and it was welcomed by numerous developers and members of the community.

“My name is Sam Hulick, and I've been writing music for ten years professionally, and longer than that experimentally. ;) I'm most known for my work on the Mass Effect video game trilogy, but have several other game credits as well as some film work (most recently a PBS documentary).

“As it happens, I'm also a huge Ubuntu fan (writing right now from a ThinkPad S431 running 13.04!). I'd love to contribute a new startup sound (or sounds) to be included in 14.04 LTS,” stated the composer on the Ubuntu mailing list.

A lot of proposals have been made and he has even accepted to work on a ringtone for the upcoming Ubuntu Touch.
