Re: [SLUG] SLUG Bootcamp, this Saturday!
Del, Would love to see you give a talk at SLUG - not the coming meeting (as we are all booked up) but perhaps in June? Send out a descriptive email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we can get the ball rolling.

The event will run from 10am to 6pm on this Saturday (19 May). Where/how has this event been publicised, aside from SLUG announcements and flyers at Open CeBIT? How many people to you expect to participate? Did you take RSVPs at all? Seems like this was pulled out of the hat very quickly, without a lot of lead time for building community involvement or promotion, which will be a worry for anyone spending their time preparing for it. Given the number of flyers [sic] handed out for this at CeBIT, I think the promotion was pretty good. At least as good as other SLUG installfests, etc, in the past.

[SLUG] crashing rhythmbox solved
Ubuntu feisty crashed rhythmbox for me all the time. Something was tripping it up. I just upgraded and the install of metacity seems to have solved my problem. So if you have had mystery problems with feisty it is probably worth updating.
