[CoLoCo] Ubucon???

[NICK VERBECK]

Once I get a date figured out and booked with google. I was going to
start inviting all the linux, python, web dev groups to hang out with
us. Try and get a big turn out to talk about linux and all things open
source.

I like the sept idea as a date. It would help turn out from the
younger crowed, but I wounder if we will even see much turn out from
them. We haven't seen any in the past that I know about. So we may
have to think about some way to get info into the CU campus. Maybe do
some fliers again and pass them out to the tech teachers and around
the tech buildings on campus if we can.
