Yay. Thanks for taking the initiative on this John, it's a great idea and I think we can come up with something great in the time we have! > The fundamentals: When? Where? Who?

If it can be after the release that would be preferable in my opinion. We could get a bunch of CDs pressed in time for the event. Given Hardy is an LTS release this could be a good time to get a big wad of CDs to dish out. > Where? I'll say London, maybe because I'm a Londoner. I'd go for something more central like Birmingham / Manchester. London has the benefit of transport links from everywhere, the downside that things are more expensive and it's considerably further from various parts of the UK. > So: add your ideas to this thread; post them to the wiki > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/IdeasPool/UbuCon_UK > An open meeting on irc, or similar, will be organised soonish (after the > Boston Ubuntu Developer Summit is done). Sounds like a plan. Cheers, Al.
