At the Ubuntu Developer Summit last week we discussed the Free Culture
Showcase. During the session I suggested that we (Ubuntu) allow
PDFs/manuals as one of the types of files which can be submitted to
the competition. As we were too late for this years competition - the
formats have already been set - it will be considered for the next one
which should start shortly after the April 2009 release of Ubuntu.

Cheers,
Al.
