Given the success (as far as I know) of your Dell partnership, please do everything possible to seek alliances with other vendors, as it will reinforce the idea that Ubuntu is a viable alternative to other operating systems and will provide better hardware support for current Ubuntu users.

Dell is offering new models based on Ubuntu (recently the XPS M1330 in a few countries), proof that the business model makes sense.

Organize a web-based Debian Recognition/Appreciation Day every year. Doesn't have to be anything formal, but the Debian maintainers are a key factor to the huge success Ubuntu is experiencing these days and they deserve the props.

Offer the possibility to translate some propositions for non english-speaking people. There are tons of users out there waiting to get their voice heard and other users willing to provide a translation to say french (I know I'd be willing to help), spanish, portuguese, italian, chinese or whatever. That feature would require moderation, sure, but it would also greatly improve the quality of the feedback.

Dell will soon communicate on their new subnotebook, which will try to take on the Asus Eee.

Let's try to be on the ball and ask Dell to push the "Netbook Remix" version of Ubuntu that was unveiled a few days ago on those slick little machines. This will give Ubuntu even more traction, in particular in this very decisive "lightweight" segment where the price of the OS is a high percentage of the total price. It's working for Asus and their Xandros distribution, it could work for Ubuntu as well.

The recent Hardy Heron release is a perfect example of why Ubuntu needs better synchronization with its environment. The Kubuntu version is not synchronized with the major release of KDE, namely KDE4.
As recently proposed by Mark Shuttleworth and other prominent Ubuntu maintainers and developers, the distribution should by any mean possible try to stick with other distributions (in particular major ones like Fedora, Debian or Mandriva) or major projects (like X.org, Gnome, KDE, OpenOffice, INSERT_MAJOR_PROJECT_HERE), since it will give a strong incentive to developers and maintainers to provide quality software on time and to prove that the Free Software Community can effectively present a united front.
