Parent article: Ubuntu Conference: The LaunchPad workshop

trivial questions

  • how many people in attendance?
  • what language were presentations?
  • what was the food?
seemed more about LaunchPad than anything else
  • what is the relation between LaunchPad and Ubuntu
  • what is the business model of LaunchPad
  • these many small distro's - are they Unbuntu based?

Personally I like the idea of many, specialized small distros. Right now just too damned difficult. Ideally I'd be paying my $100 a year to my favorite botique distro, knowing they had the tools in place to provide security etc.

Most of your questions will be answered in another article.

> what was the food?

The food is good. There's a variety of restaurants: Chinese, Japanese, Italian and so on tend to outnumber Spanish/Catalunyan.

> these many small distro's - are they Ubuntu based?

Many of them are Debian based.
