That's too bad, Tim. We had a fantastic turnout last night and it would
have been great if you had found us.

For the record, Ubuntu Vancouver members range from developers, to new
users, and everything in between. Some our members are GNU/Linux (and
Unix) hacks from way back (even Debian too), so there is a good chance
you'd connect with someone who is interested in the "nuts and bolts" of
the system. We have developers and packagers in the group too. Our
Rescue Center last night had several members who are  outstanding tech
support  people.

Our meeting locations are published here:

As for Ubuntu not being ready for commercial use, I'd love to hear what
the list has to say.

Cheers,
Randall.

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.
