Ubuntu is a community developed, Linux-based operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. It contains all the applications you need - a web browser, presentation, document and spreadsheet software, instant messaging and much more.
Is there anything about Ubuntu you always wanted to know? This session presents questions raised by the LinuxTag audience for the Ubuntu developers.
Topics covered during this session will be the Ubuntu community, compiz and beryl on the Ubuntu Desktop, Edubuntu, security and Ubuntu and the Ubuntu server.

Über den Autor Sebastian Kugler:
Originally from Germany, Sebastian Kügler studied
Business Administration at the University of Nijmegen in the
Netherlands. He is currently employed be the Department of Computer
Science at the same university where he works on two Open Source
related projects. He is researching quality metrics to form a
European standard for Open Source software services and in another
project, CodeYard, he is guiding secondary education students into
the world of Open Source software development by participating in
an Open Source digital schoolyard.
Sebastian participates in the SQO-OSS project on behalf of KDE. The
project aims to do research into quality improvement tools for Free
Software.
Together with others, Sebastian set up the KDE Marketing Working
Group during last summer's KDE world summit in Malaga, Spain and
has since then become one of the thought leaders in marketing the
free desktop. Areas of interest of this work range from coordination
of existing activities over relationship management to scientific
marketing research. Sebastian was elected as Board Member of the KDE
e.V. in September 2007.
He is dedicated to push the Free Desktop into the mainstream market
over the next years by professionalising organisational activities
conducted in the KDE projects, but he also wants his work to serve
as an example route for other projects to take.
Über den Autor Paul Sladen:
In 2004, Paul Sladen noticed several Debian developers disappearing off to Oxford, UK and followed them. There, he discovered what would be soon become 'Ubuntu' and has been distracted ever since.
Working with userspace magic, he loves making crack work. If a laptop comes with a fancy gadget, LED, hotkey or jet-thrusters that don't work "out-of-the-box" under K/Ubuntu, then that is a bug liable to cause distraction until fixed.
Paul Sladen is a Freelance *nix/ISP/core-networking Consultant specialising in providing high-quality on-demand clue(tm) for anything that doesn't involve MS Windows. Based between London and Nottingham, Great Britain, he is generally seen travelling with a ThinkPad laptop, Brompton folding bicycle ...and hopeful in future, an English liveaboard narrowboat.

Martin ist seit August 2004 Diplom-Informatiker und ist danach direkt bei Canonical eingestiegen um Ubuntu aus der Taufe zu heben. Jetzt arbeitet er in vielen verschiedenen Bereichen, wie dem Utopia-Projekt, automatischem Problem-Meldungen (apport), Sicherheitsaktualisierungen, Archiv-Verwalter, cupsys-Maintainer, etc.
Zu Debian ist er 2001 gekommen, ist seit 2003 offizieller Entwickler, und dort hauptsaechlich mit der Paketierung und Entwicklung von PostgreSQL beschaeftigt.
Martin ist jetzt 27 Jahre alt und wohnt in Dresden.
