[TheUbuCon] Thank you, John Mark, Google folk, Canonical, and all UBUNTISTS, for NYC UBUCON 2007!

[John Mark Walker]

Hi Jay,

It was wonderful to have you there, and I very much appreciate your
attendance despite not feeling well. I apologize for the bit of chaos
at the beginning of your talk but such is the nature of these things.
I wouldn't have it any other way :@)

In any case, I hope to keep in touch with you, and I'll be following
the FTC proceedings.

Thanks,
John Mark
