Fwd: Hamfest in Ubuntu News; Local Community team ?

[Bill Ricker]

Will GNHLUG be at NEARFEST this weekend ?

If so, would GNHLUG like Ubuntu LoCo support vis-a-vis the recent 8.04
Hardy Heron release ?
I note the recent Ubuntu Newsletter #88 featured a Hamfest outreach by
LoCo (see below).

If I can get a few boxes of Gutsy 7.10 CDs and some Hardy Heron 8.04
CDs from Mass LoCo team, I'll bring them up with me Friday &/or
Saturday (as well as to MIT Fleas in future), and maybe
Installfest/Explo:Ubuntu flyers.
(Maybe I'll take some to Photographica in Wakefield on the way home
too Saturday.)

There is not an Ubuntu NH LoCo team yet.
There is a Maine team and a Mass team under an umbrella "NU Ubuntu
Team" (Northeastern United States of America Ubuntu Local Community
Team :=  I-95 + VT per Census definition)

Mass LoCo has Exploration:Ubuntu installfest/demos at MIT, and
community based training events, and more to come.

LoCo News  - "Northeast Louisiana Regional Ham RadioFest"
   The Louisiana LoCo team had a booth at the Northeast Louisiana
Regional Ham RadioFest on Saturday April 26th. They passed out cds,
stickers, flyers and had a giveaway that included Ubuntu t-shirts, and
two complete computers running Ubuntu Hardy Heron. There was a lot of
interest in Ubuntu by the attendees and many people were excited to
try out the latest version. In addition to the booth, the team also
held a presentation followed by a Q&A session with good attendance.
Everyone was excited and receptive. At the end of the day the team got
a chance to relax at the release party and enjoy some good food and
fellowship. It was a very successful day. A special thank you to all
those team members who were able to attend and help out with the
booth, it wouldn't have been possible without you!
