For one thing, Shuttleworth isn't a programmer or a developer and secondly, there's nothing wrong with people wanting technical talks instead of business talks.
Mark Shuttleworth has been a Debian Developer in the past.
Well, simple point. I do not have the resources to go in person to listen to Ubuntu talks. Instead I can just go over the reports. Once again, I say, I'd be very interested in going in person if it isn't about Ubuntu.
In 2004, RedHat had conducted a similar ``India Business Tour'' which I happened to attend. 300+ people turned up (free dinner?). We all saw Powerpoint sildes, Advt. Videos using Windows Media Player and all. Pretty interesting it was.
Surely Canonical isn't one of them, and I would be attending Shuttleworth's talk just because he isn't going to talk about programming and all that.
