[Theubucon] Full Steam Ahead

[Ubuntu California Team (Mark Nielsen)]

Heya!
There is only 2 or 3 weeks left, how much can we get done in that time?

What seems to be a common theme amoung the people I talk to is the ability
for Ubuntu to be user-friendly, installation is easy, and it needs to work
with their hardware. Updates are easy and work all the time. Also, their
website is slick and the Linux distro is slick. People love the fact
Xwindows comes up and you can connect to the internet while you are
installing. Very cool.

Complaints is that hardware doesn't work sometimes but works in other Linux
Distros.

I would like to work on promtoing Ubuntu and developing documents for it and
doing presentations at companies.
