For those not familiar, "Launchpad is a free software hosting and development website. We make it easy to collaborate across multiple projects." More information about Launchpad is here: Collaboration, project management and code hosting for free software https://launchpad.net/+about

One thing I like about services such as these, is that I often find interesting (and usable) projects. Let's see what Ubuntu based projects are hosted on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/projects/?text=ubuntu

The following are just some of the ones that were more interesting to follow-up later:

Ubuntu Video
Ubuntu Video is a service provided by a member of the Ubuntu community. It is not managed by, or directly affiliated with, Canonical Ltd.

Disclaimers aside, Ubuntu Video is a video portal that takes the best Ubuntu-related videos on the Internet, from places like YouTube and Google Video, and centralizes them in one convenient spot. There are many goals - demystifying Linux, providing support to Ubuntu users, crushing Linux myths, even educating people about free and open source software: http://www.ubuntuvideo.com/

Ubuntu Tweak
Ubuntu Tweak is a tool for Ubuntu that makes it easy to configure your system and desktop settings. It provided many usefull desktop and system options that the default desktop environment isn’t provided. At present, It is only designed for Ubuntu GNOME Desktop, and often follows the newest Ubuntu distribution. more description and features of Ubuntu Tweak is available here: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/about

Sounds to spruce up the GNOME desktop environment. This download is designed to entertain, add ambiance, and amuse the GNOME desktop user: http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/gnome/ubuntu-sounds

Ubuntu-rescue-remix data recovery toolkit
Ubuntu-rescue-remix provides a Free-Libre Open-Source data recovery software toolkit based on UbuntuUbuntu Rescue Remix is a GNU/Linux live cd that provides the data recovery specialist with a command-line interface environment equipped with the best free-libre, open source data recovery and forensics tools available: http://ubuntu-rescue-remix.org/

Ubuntu Desktop Course
Just as the title implies... Training: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training

Ubuntu Artwork Packagers
The default Wallpapers for Ubuntu: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-art-pkg/ubuntu-wallpapers/ubuntu

And finally... If you search for "opensource" (https://launchpad.net/projects/?text=opensource) you'll find some of the packages I listed here: Top 100 of the Best (Useful) OpenSource Applications, are also on Launchpad!

Interesting! Enjoy your weekend... :)
