ShipIt Changes

[John Abbott]

Maybe it just seems like six years.  Warty and I were good friends.  I
moved over from Red Hat when I left the Bank where I was IT.

Ubuntu Membership.  Its forming a we/they division in the community that
is going to turn off a lot of those migrating from Windows or other
Linux communities.
