So... In order to activate something which it is hoped as many as possible will
log in to and use (I also seem to remember talk of UQ integration with the

That makes it practically a default program, only you have to download it
instead of getting it off the CD.

GNote can't fill the U1 notes role because it doesn't have working note sync.

I really feel that it sounds like the guys in that UDS session made their
decisions without doing their research first regarding Ubuntu One. :-\
