Mark found a great deal of fame, which money often cannot buy. Peter Dawe, as
it turns out, will use Ubuntu as his codebase. I bet he can really make an
impact on the UK stores. Bear in mind that Mark lives in London now, but a
lot of the action is probably in the States. He announced a conference a
couple of days ago (America), so I told him to consider organising future
ones close to home. :-)
