and linked to it from here:

Feel free to add more, and check out what other are doing (like the
Chicago Ubucon planning which led me here:

=== US Colorado Team ===
This is an update for the Colorado Ubuntu Linux Team for the whole
summer.

 * ColoradoTeam members JimHutchinson and Bryan Gartner each made a
morning-long presentation to the educators of Colorado at the major
Colorado Technology In Education conference in June: [[TIEColorado08]]

  *

Free Software to Enhance and Extend Learning]] - JimHutchinson
  *
[[http://www.tiecolorado.org/2008/conference/detail.cfm?sessionID=1125
Learn to Install, Set Up and Configure a Thin-Client Network]] - Bryan
Gartner

 They were assisted by NealMcBurnett, Connie L. O'Dell, and Connie's
son.  The team also ran a booth to  answer questions and show off
Ubuntu videos for 2 days.

 
 * Jeffrey Le''''''Page converted an elementary school to Linux. He
writes:
 "10 classrooms (3 primary, 4 lower-El, 3 upper-el), less than 300
 kids.  There are now 20 Linux desktops for the teachers/staff, a
total
 of 10 Asus Eee PC's for the kids, and 24 non-Eee linux laptops for
the
 kids.  Plus the servers (firewall, old Win2k3, samba server,
 dansguardian web filter, data backup server), and 3 legacy windows
 desktops.  Still, that comes to 62 computers.  It's a lot for one
 part-time person to deal with.  I'm also committed to supporting any
 personal laptops that students and staff will be using at the school.

 I also run the school's websites:
http://www.freehorizonmontessori.org (the
 main one), http://www.communitysupportnetwork.org (associated with a
 satellite organization, and still under construction), and
 http://moodle.freehorizonmontessori.org (our new online classroom
site)."

 * We are also planning another Ubucon in Boulder, for October or
January, and an Ubuntu Release Party / Birthday party.

 * As always there is a lot of support and marketing discussion on the
mailing list - 563 messages in last 90 days.
