As some one who pops lubuntu onto old kit, I am certainly up for it in my local area. My problem being that I do get dragged across England for months at a time in my job as 'Holding Mananger' for bars (pubs). If I were to start one here in Warrington, I'd need to know there was some one to take over when I get sent to, say, Carlisle. And for setting one up there, the same would apply.
food for thought, but if they can do '1 laptop per kid', I'm sure we can do '1 school / college per lubuntu-uk person'. This is the 1st time I've raised the issue, as I'm used to "oh, we'd love to, but it's too complicated" sort of answers... My apologies if I have put the cat amongst the pidgeons, but now and again we do have to move out of our 'comfort' zone. (Besides, as a wholly "Free Advertising" project, we will get more exposure in the media). I've got a few rough ideas in my mind, I am sure the fantastic people like Alan Bell et all, would love to have a go at this. If one of our ubuntu LoCo team people can get Canonical managers shipped to australia to support his resurrection of their LoCo - Nothing is impossible :) Regards, ~Phill.
