Generally going to learn isn't useful.  If you want to go to mold and
adapt those are good reasons to go.  Most of the discussions aren't at a
level where someone who isn't familiar would get much use out of them.
If you have made a couple of custom respins of Ubuntu, and have had
issues with doing so that you'd like to see fixed, UDS is a good place
to bring those issues forward and try to advance solutions.

Also to note, the various track leads are soliciting topics for sessions
now.  If you'd like to propose a session, now is a good time.

I'd be happy to answer your questions on that. :)
