>    but for millions of users out there. Join in to find out from
>    experts how to make Ubuntu even better.

>              hands-on action
>  * Writing code: we will talk about apps, tools, projects and
>    infrastructure to make writing software for Ubuntu even easier.
>    Sessions: automated testing, pair programming, code review,
>              technology overview, introductions to many cool
>              technologies and making your apps rock.
