Brian, But if you don't know who it affects, how do you address that? I've been around for about a month now, and today is the first that I've heard of this Google Group for the Columbus LoCo. Had you not thrown that link out in the email(s) I would have never known. I stumbled across the LoCo while I was playing with 11.04 on a different computer and now use it almost exclusively. You haven't been in the IRC channel (as far as I know) so you may be unaware of the struggles that I've faced getting Natty to work on my laptop, Had I even known about the fact that you had to pay to park I would have probably not even headed toward campus last week. I wonder how many people go home after finding out that you need to pay to park down there (and that's if you are lucky enough to find a spot...) I personally feel that you shouldn't have to walk blocks to attend something...
