Kevin, I'm interested. My only constraints are that I live in north Escondido and am very busy. But I'd love to see something for Ubuntu start up. You might consider contacting the local San Diego Barcamp site (<a href="http://www.barcampsd.org/">http://www.barcampsd.org/</a>) as well and seeing if there are interested people there. Barcamp has weekends twice a year and several of them tend to be Linux oriented...

I'm thinking that we do this 'coffee house coder' style. We had similar events back in Michigan that seemed to always work out well. If you are in San Diego, and would be willing to meet once a month for an Ubuntu Hour, PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK! :) We need to get about half a 3-6 'core' people that would come every month. Why? 1. Getting a new open source pet project going 2. Getting involved in an existing OSS project 3. Getting started doing technical/translation/bug/community/documentation work for Ubuntu 4. Technical networking in meatspace! 5. Answering technical questions for people who are having trouble installing/configuring Ubuntu Where? I'm new to the area, so I'm scouting out decent coffee shops where the management would be open to this type of deal. I'm thinking a good place to meet would be the downtown area. When? I'm thinking once a month would probably be a good frequency at which to meet. Probably a Mon/Tues/Wed night after the workday would be a decent day to meet. (Doesn't interfere with social schedules as much) How? I have a few ideas to drum up interest, including fliers around downtown and the college campuses This plan is still in its infancy, suggestions/advice is always welcome.
