[CoLoCo] Install Fest

[David L. Willson]

Seconded.  I want to reiterate that I would like to see some music and
noise around the Hardy release.  We still have enough time (though
barely) to do this.  The Colorado community is the most active in the
states, as far as I can tell, so perhaps this city (Denver) would be a
good place for Canonical to spend some money making a noisy launch
party.  My vision is a large, open room for standing in, tables for
vendors against the walls, and maybe a couple in lines down the middle,
and a large projector on which we eventually see some pretty geek
playing with the Hardy, and perhaps open or close with a statement by
Shuttleworth.  What, am I crazy, or does this sound like fun?
