So we had our first Corvallis meet up, it was quiet as expected being our first one and a last minute thing but it was a lot of fun. Even though most people didn't come up to us I suspect they were googling "Ubuntu" when they got home, they couldn't have missed our display. :-) From here on out we'll have a regular once a month meet up here in Corvallis, November will be tough because of NaNoWriMo (S0rceress0 has 50,000 words to write) but I suspect we'll double box and slip in an Ubuntu hour as at the same time we're out writing. I think I'll also follow in Jono's footsteps and use "Meetup" instead of Groupspaces, seems like more people use it. Anyway, thanks for all the encouragement, have a great week.
