Did we ever come up with a date and time for the San Diego Ubuntu Hour? I'm 
flying home from UDS on Saturday the 30th however, after that I would love to 
be a major part of it! There has been some cool ideas down here about things 
to do at Ubuntu Hour that I will be sharing with the LoCo once I get 
everything condensed into a manageable read.
