I think we should stick to one Ubuntu California group hosted at Google with SVLUG (or on a seperate weekend at the same location). Another nice touch would be to schedule presentations at the various LUGs evangelizing the OS -- a good time to do this would be when Ubuntu is nearing a final release. If this sounds like a possibility, I'd be more than happy to help out.

Hi all,<br><br>Thanks to all of you for making the UbuCon a success. I didn't know what<br>to expect, but it surpassed anything I had envisioned. It was exactly<br>the type of community-based, easy-going affair I had hoped for. It
<br>didn't have the elitist flair of a lot of conferences, but there was<br>also real information on display. To me, it stayed true to Ubuntu's<br>"Linux for Human Beings" theme. It was a conference for human beings.
<br><br>My head is already swimming with ideas for next year. As well as the<br>beginning of a California Ubuntu group. I hope Mark N and a few others<br>who had the idea for the California group can pipe in and give their
<br>thoughts. We could go our own way, or we could organize under the banner<br>of one of the area user groups. I'd really like to hear your thoughts on<br>the subject.<br><br>And a couple of requests:<br><br>1. Speakers. I need a list of everyone that spoke. So far, I have...
<br><br> - moi<br> - Anna and Alex (Python BoF)<br> - Jorge Castro<br> - Corey Burger<br> - Jordan Mantha<br> - Akkana Peck<br> - Ryan Anderson<br> - Adam Israel<br>
- Paul Reiber<br> - Krishna Sankar<br> - Christian Huebner<br> - Jane Silber<br> - Canonical dude whose name I forget (spoke on Saturday, right before<br>Jorge)<br><br>2. Please send me your notes of the event. If you presented with slides,
<br>please point me to them. A couple of you have done this. Thanks Andrey,<br>for the photos. There's also some notes on <a href="http://Ubuntu.com">Ubuntu.com</a>. Awesome.<br><br>If you didn't present, please send me your thoughts anyway. I'm trying
<br>to post a summary today.<br><br>3. And finally, where should the next UbuCon be? Should it be next year?<br>I was wondering about New York in February, since that's the date of<br>LinuxWorld east, or whatever they're calling it these days.
<br><br><br>Thanks, and please send your comments!<br><br>-John Mark Walker<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>TheUbuCon mailing list<br><a href="mailto:TheUbuCon@linuxpip.org">TheUbuCon@linuxpip.org
