There's still no easy way to become "Ubuntero", even if we accept the conditions, except if you are using some Linux distributions (namely Ubuntu) providing the necessary tools. Launchpad is still not technology-neutral and still promotes Ubuntu exclusively, excluding also some other free or open source projects that don't require it and are clearly designed to be open to many other OS'es (including proprietary ones, without more conditions). This could be solved if the Launchpad site was hosting itself the necessary tools or were offering much more open alternatives to authenticate the signatures of contributors of its hosted projects. It's true that Launchpad was created by the promoter of the Ubuntu Linux distrib, but Launchpad is still in itself a proprietary platform with closed sources, whose objectives do not match perfectly with the advertised intent to "open" its platform to other open sourced or free projects.
