- Got MarkShuttleworth to offer a 500 USD bounty to close this issue.

Create, develop and implement marketing strategies to make Ubuntu the new de-facto Entreprise Linux solution.
Further support startups interested in developing Ubuntu-based custom distributions for their local market.
- Already in contact with two Baltic startups who want to do this.

Maintain my own packages (see Debian packages above) and adopt some MOTU packages too.

It has been suggested that CUPS-PDF would be used to give Ubuntu out-the-box PDF distilling capabilities.
- The Ubuntu CUPS package runs as a non-priviledged user, which prevents CUPS-PDF from writing its output to home directories. [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=300320 Debian BTS #300320

cups-pdf: cannot run as non-privileged user on Ubuntu]
