[ubuntu-vancouver] Showing Off Ubuntu

[Timothy Webster]

Great, I tried to go the vancouver meetup, but I didn't have the address.

Very upset, oh well

I don't think there was anybody more technical than myself there anyway. 
I am interested in meeting with package builders not end users.
---------

I tracked the problem down to a problem with dual disk configurations, and found through apt-listbugs that debian is tracking it. apt-listbugs is a really useful package everybody who has slightly less tested configuration should install. But it was remove from ubuntu,  because only debian tracks bugs by package version. ubuntu tracks bugs by release, not by package version. This is major short coming of ubuntu. And basically why ubuntu can not be consider ready for commercial use.
