If you're one of the people that's here for the technical guff rather than the writing or photography guff, you'll be interested (you will be interested) to note that registration for Ubuntu Live 2008 is now open.

From t'website:

Ubuntu Live is a vibrant and important gathering of IT professionals, government and business leaders, educators, community leaders, enterprise and business users. The conference brings together the people who deploy and manage Ubuntu in organizations, companies offering services and solutions based on Ubuntu, customers of those services, users of Ubuntu, and the folks who build Ubuntu and other key open source software.

So there you go. I have no idea whether I'll be attending yet. There will be some talking about Launchpad as far as I can tell but whether that'll need me to be there I don't know (it's the company's decision at the end of the day). Still, last year's event was apparently tremendous fun, so if you've got the means and the desire, get yourself registered.
