[Ubuntu-US-CA] Release Party in Hollywood, CA

Tue Oct 5 07:21:01 UTC 2010

I created an event:
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/441/detail/

now it's time to mention it anywhere I can think of:

   - our company's blog/twitter/facebook
   - technical meetups (meetup.com) in LA
   - campus websites?
   - https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
   - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/MaverickRelease
   - http://planet.ubuntu.com/
   - http://linux.ucla.edu/lugwiki/start

   - https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
   - http://www.machineproject.com/
   - http://032.la/

spam #ubuntu, #ubuntu-release-party, #ubuntu-locoteams
fliers on my way to work (1 hour commute on train+bike will provide plenty
of time to pitch it)

Please help me spread the rumor by telling your friends, writing a blog
post/identica/twitter or anything else that you can think of!
btw, how to post it on PlanetUbuntu?

Thanks!
