Nathan,<br><br>Also, you mentioned about looking for victims... er... volunteers... to give presentations at the release party. If you guys would be interested, I could give a little presentation about Folding@Home [1] as well as an intro to origami [2]. I know you've probably heard me preaching it all over the Beginners Team, so I'm sure you're familiar with what I'm talking about. I'm not sure if this is the kind of issue you'd be looking to cover at the party, or if you're looking for something a bit more Ubuntu-related. Let me know what you guys think!<br clear="all"> <br>-- <br>Steve Woodruff<br>swoody on FreeNode<br><a href="mailto:lets.get.sushi@gmail.com">lets.get.sushi@gmail.com</a><br>- A morning without coffee is like something without something else...<br><br> [1] <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome</a><br>[2] <a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome/origami">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FoldingAtHome/origami</a><br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 18, 2009 at 1:58 PM, Tim Potter <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:musikgoat@gmail.com">musikgoat@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> IDT is also conveniently located just a block from the Merchandise Mart "L" stop. <br><br>I'm in for either saturday, 7th or 14th.
