Will GNHLUG be at NEARFEST this weekend ? If so, would GNHLUG like Ubuntu LoCo support vis-a-vis the recent 8.04 Hardy Heron release ? I note the recent Ubuntu Newsletter #88 featured a Hamfest outreach by LoCo (see below).
If I can get a few boxes of Gutsy 7.10 CDs and some Hardy Heron 8.04 CDs from Mass LoCo team, I'll bring them up with me Friday &/or Saturday (as well as to MIT Fleas in future), and maybe Installfest/Explo:Ubuntu flyers. (Maybe I'll take some to Photographica in Wakefield on the way home too Saturday.) 73 de Bill N1VUX [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is not an Ubuntu NH LoCo team yet. There is a Maine team and a Mass team under an umbrella "NU Ubuntu Team" (Northeastern United States of America Ubuntu Local Community Team := I-95 + VT per Census definition) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NUUbuntuTeam Mass LoCo has Exploration:Ubuntu installfest/demos at MIT, and community based training events, and more to come. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MassachusettsTeam?highlight=%28Massachusetts%29 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue88 ... Excerpt ... LoCo News - "Northeast Louisiana Regional Ham RadioFest" The Louisiana LoCo team had a booth at the Northeast Louisiana Regional Ham RadioFest on Saturday April 26th. They passed out cds, stickers, flyers and had a giveaway that included Ubuntu t-shirts, and two complete computers running Ubuntu Hardy Heron. There was a lot of interest in Ubuntu by the attendees and many people were excited to try out the latest version. In addition to the booth, the team also held a presentation followed by a Q&A session with good attendance. Everyone was excited and receptive. At the end of the day the team got a chance to relax at the release party and enjoy some good food and fellowship. It was a very successful day. A special thank you to all those team members who were able to attend and help out with the booth, it wouldn't have been possible without you! _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
