  2. Yes you too can get myname@ubuntu.com email. For this you should become an active participant in Ubuntu development. Get started with http://launchpad.net . Report bugs you encounter in launchpad, try to help by making patches. The best method to get into it is through packaging. For this you need to become a member of MOTU. It takes time to learn the whole thing. Do check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/FAQ to get started with MOTU.
