Hey everyone! I wanted to take a moment and tell you all what an amazing time I had at the Community Leadership Summit and at OSCON with all of the California LoCo members who participated. It was really great to say "hi" to other LoCo members and to participate in the events with you all. The booth location was in an AWESOME location and you all had so much traffic through there is was great. Every time I went to drop something off or tell you all something it was packed. I was happy to see that Deb was able to get Mako over for the photo op and to get you all some books to give away on both days. You all did a great job in coming together to get the the disks burned before OSCON and even during OSCON. It was great for you all to show people how easily it can be done. I thought it was great how itnet7 (Chris) just fell in there and you all incorporated him into your LoCo as if he had been there forever. I know personally I felt like I belonged in the group as well. When people come together under a common theme and in this case Ubuntu at OSCON it just works. Thank you all for being so open to allowing other ubuntu LoCo teams to participate with you. You all rocked the "Spirit of Ubuntu" at the booth! Grant and Joe seemed to be the face of the welcoming committee. They were always there, full of energy, and full of great ideas to promote the booth and ubuntu as a whole. They were helpful and always up for suggestions without making anyone feel bad for suggesting anything new. Thanks for taking the CD's, Postcards, books, and allowing the photo op, as well as taking the Linux Pro Magazines back with you all for other members and other people in the LUG groups as well. I hope they will help out. Loved the banner too! Gave me some great ideas. :-) Just wanted to tell you all is was great being there and participating when I could with all of you. I hope you all get your approved status soon. You all rock! It was really great meeting you all and I know if I was to start listing everyone I would leave someone off so know it was a great pleasure to meet you *all*! I will use the experience with you all as an example of how to run a booth. Thanks again, and hope our paths cross soon! :-) Amber (akgraner) -- Just me Amber.
