I just read the Re-Energizing LoCo Teams thread and have done some
Google searches on what might be happening and
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ shows zero Saucy/13.10 release events.
I live in a rural area and I would like to see something that allows me
to participate, or watch, even if an event is not within reasonable
driving distance. It would be better if I could go to Richmond,
Fredericksburg or Hampton Roads...
Would it be possible to have an event or "Release Party" that allows a
combination of online and LoCo events? How about we call it "Ubuntu
Freedom"? Perhaps it would be better to schedule this for Saturday Oct
19th following the Oct 17th release of Saucy/13.10?
We could use Google Hangouts to show a series of presentations about
Ubuntu and in between sessions talk to various LoCo's.
One of the UDS sessions talked a bit about how Windows XP is approaching
end of life April 2014, so one of the sessions should cover how we can
use Ubuntu, or Lubuntu, to extend the life of these older machines.
I am an admin and I would like to see a session, or perhaps help present
one, on DNSSEC, DANE and related protocols that can help make the
Internet a bit safer.

Hi Chuck,
In fact it's a bit early to have already events for the saucy release in
the loco directory, and the global event is not yet opened (but it will
be soon by the LoCo Council).
For the type of the event, that depends on the people organising them.
This can be an Ubuntu Hour like, an Install Party like, a meeting with
conferences, workshops… online, offline, both… there is no rules for
that. The only rule I apply is, people organising, choose what they want
to do.
In my team we try to have ubuntu hours like events in the week following
the release, and bigger events with conferences, install party,
workshop… in lot of cities. (we have lot of awesome people in my team to
organise that ;) ). We work also with LUGs for that.
I recommend you, if there is no event near you, to create your release
party. Just find some friends and plan an Ubuntu Hour, and invite
everyone who is interested using the network of your locoteam and your
own networks. Why I recommend to start finding some friends ? because if
nobody shows up, you still have a good time with your friends ;)
Best regards
Philippe
