[CoLoCo] Loco news from UDS-M - non-tech conferences

[Neal McBurnett]

Following along with the Ubuntu Developer Summit for Maverick (UDS-M)
is fun, though challenging.

So it's great when folks like pleia2 (Elizabeth Krumbach, on the
Ubuntu Community Council) blog about what's been happening.  E.g. here
is her report on the third day:

Among many other things they discussed "Conference Packs" for
participation at local conferences.  They encourage folks to present
Ubuntu at non-tech conferences too:

 The session also discussed the types of conferences that teams get
 involved with, and the consensus was that we really don't want to
 isolate our booths to just tech events, we want to present at events
 at schools and universities, attend events like SciFi conventions,
 and the North Carolina team has really run with this idea by planning
 to promote Ubuntu at a goat festival, an idea which came up after
 somewhat unrelatedly working with an organization involved with it to
 get their systems switched to Ubuntu.

So where do we want to get Ubuntu out there?  :)
