[Theubucon] Full Steam Ahead

[John Mark Walker]

Hey there,

Well, I always intended it to be a very casual gathering - a sort of  
bar camp for Ubuntu people.

Why don't you just go with the topic(s) that consume your time these  
days? If it's more on the advocacy side of things, then that's fine.

Ultimately, there will be large chunks of the conference that won't  
be decided until we get there.
