Hi, I'm newly in Edinburgh and occasionally make it to EdLUG meetings, who are quite active.  I did get some "why Ubuntu?  Why not Debian?" questions from certain other EdLUGgers (who perhaps haven't tried Ubuntu?) but it's still good fun (I'm sure I can convince at least some of them with demos).  I'd love to have a local-ish Ubuntu UK meeting, and I'd also be interested in a "moving" meeting for all Ubuntu UK members -- I'm from Australia originally and need an excuse to travel around the UK, after all!
