Hey!
*Does the I'm not the only person under 15 who contributes to / uses 
(k,x)ubuntu dance*
They are (a great group to appeal to)... except that most youth say "Will I be 
able to play <random windows 3d computer game" when I talk to them about 
linux in general. 
If your wondering on how to contribute... you might be interested in going to 
#ubuntu (irc.freenode.net, port 6667 or 8001) and help new users out.
As tonyyarusso said in his first reply... University students are 
organizing/running something, and it would be interesting to get/find some 
High School students to do the same... 
Cheers,
Ryan

PS: If there are any Queen's University people/Kingstonians reading this, 
lemme know... we might be able to get something setup at a library or 
somewhere's... a mini install-fest...
