Mark Shuttleworth spoke at the Mumbai LUG yesterday. The event was attended by around 60 people. Mark was late due to traffic but he spoke well about Ubuntu, community building and his experiences of India. The question a lot of people wanted to ask: “How do you manage to send out so many free CDs?” was aptly answered when Mark remarked at the end: “(cause) I can afford it!”
But Mark is really an inspiring person. I was moved by how he spoke, answered the questions, and achieved so much at this age. I wish he could speak more and there was more time for interaction.
And yes, people ran to grab the Ubuntu CDs!
The pictures will be available on the LUG site soon!
Yes, 3 days back only I got my ubuntu CD’s, and it is vary vary exciting,
now I am running “LAMP” on it.
Not sure if you know this but Mark produced a series on Open Source software (cause he could afford to) called Go Open. The 13 episode series is available for download at http://www.go-opensource.org/
I received the Ubutu Cd from Shuttleworth foundation and i have already donated them to Kaya Computer Kids Clubs. Thanks Mark the kids love the info.
I need ubuntu CD’s, from where i will get it..? please help
