Sure. Is there anything special you want on it? I could swap out the
website from the workshop with a website of your choosing (otherwise users
will see the Barcelona workshop website as their homepage).
Perhaps I can just make a general one that points to the Amber website if
there's interest from the Dev community for this kind of resource.
I do want to contact Ubuntu and cover us legally before we run around
calling it AMbuntu, though.
All the best,
Jason
