[Ubuntu-US-CA] Ubuntu Hour Lake Forest, October 7th

We're in the final run up to a very exciting release date. Ubuntu 10.10 is scheduled to be one of the most exciting releases ever. The new Ubuntu experience meets refinements and now with an elegant new font. New software, more polished experiences on the desktop, and a powerful new interface for

When I spoke to the council about our problems here in California, I asked for help. At no time did I ask for happiness to be enforced. Then, as now, I expressed my concern at decision that were made in private. I was under the impression that for the group to function, major decisions should be
