Hi Nathan, I actually do agree with that premise too - advocacy of Ubuntu Linux in a larger forum, so to speak. There could be many forums (Barcamp included) which could be considered candidates for that, and some good potential places for personal networking with techie types.
I know my last e-mail was getting long and I wasn't trying to start debate - but I do think your comments are correct and I definitely should have stated that premise in my original response. I should have also added one other negative point to my last e-mail- a member of our LUG registered for the last Barcamp in San Diego, drove down there, only to be refused admittance because one of the organizers has a personal grievance with him. It just reinforced, to me at least, about what is wrong about Barcamp and it's lacking of structure and organization. I still recommend to Kevin to startup a real Ubuntu Hour... :) Thanks, David By the way Nathan, I may be able to make it to the August 26th Ubuntu Hour in Lake Forest - just curious - do you ever go over the (1) "hour" ? I'm going to be headed somewhere near there around 8pm so I might stay longer (2 hrs) as Panera Bread is open.
