I don't think using "UDD" in a talk title is a good idea. I haven't come
up with one I like yet though, I'm working on it.

One thing I want to be careful of is not giving people the impression we
will be auto-building Ubuntu, so I'd like to steer more towards "making
available" than "getting into the hands of." Obviously the talk will
make it clear, but the majority of attendees are more likely to just
read the title/abstract. Basically I don't want it to be read as
"Ubuntu will be full of crap that no-one ever tested (any more than it
already is)."

Thanks,
