Interesting transcription - apparently Ubuntu is:
"...a whole sort of little community of enthusiasts building operating 
systems for absolutely nothing and trying to persuade us that we don’t 
need to be in with the big boys but actually most computer users frankly 
they don’t want to bother with that sort of stuff they want something 
that’s there…”

Good old BBC, eh? :-/

Good write-up.

"Rory, please feel free to come along to the Ubuntu Release Party next
Thursday 29th in London, and you can meet some of the great people who
help put Ubuntu together."

Serious comment, directly invite him along.

I'm sure we'd all back you up with a petition should he dare refuse!

Cheers,
Martin
