I can only speak for our group here in the Tip of Texas. Of the 18 of us, 11 began testing Ubuntu 9.10Alpha #1 the day it became available. Not many of us have room for additional hardware so most dual boot with 9.04. We've turned in a lot of trouble reports. <br> <br> When I made the initial request to become a LoCo I may have shot myself in the foot by mentioning that we are probably the oldest aged group on Ubuntu. I live and teach in a retirement resort as well as the community Library. Our oldest Ubuntu User is an 84 year old woman who had never owned a computer before moving here in 2005. <br> <br> It the qualifying that is the hurdle for most of my members. None of them have a programming background and it took me two years to get them to use the terminal and command lines. When we planned our launch party we determined to hold it in the party room of the biggest pizza parlor in Southern Texas. We will have free pizza - free as in FLOSS! and we will have local TV Network coverage. We'll do it as the ToT-LUG.<div class="im"> <br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Is there still anyone who doesn't consider this worthy of becoming LoCo???</div><div><br></div><div>This one beats the hell of "My mom uses Ubuntu!", that's more of "My grandparents using Ubuntu!" style.</div> <div><br></div><div>I like it.</div><div><br></div><div>John, you are my hero now.</div><div><br></div><div>Alex.</div></div></div>
