Ubuntu Developer Preview came out today and I decided to play around with it a little. It's based on CM, so it's a fairly easy port to get the base feature working, but many things do not work.
Note that this is a one-shot and there will be no updates (maybe until it becomes more than a developer preview, but no promise!)
All sources are available from Ubuntu's and CyanogenMod repositories. All other patches will be listed here.
