The reason I proposed an In-Real-Life Ubuntu Hour is because there's
nothing like hands-on support from a warm body. It's really tough to
fix your video chat software on a video chat channel, or get advice on
connecting to IRC on an IRC channel, or getting your e-mail password
reset by e-mail.

Besides, Ubuntu Hours are fun and easy. And you can buy a coffee for
the person who configures your webcam. All computer people love
coffee, right? http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20120627
