A LoCo Resolution?

[Phillip Tarrant]

agreed, perhaps an IRC meeting would be better for those of us who can't
drive to hotlanta often.
or somewhere more central in the state. Personally I dislike the city due to
traffic...the 2-3 hour drive time isn't exactly a turn on either.

An Idea:
While I have never been to an "Installfest" (I have always be able to
install ubuntu fine)
Perhaps a "config fest" or "annoyance squash" should be something to think
about.
Many people can get ubuntu installed fine, but can't configure things to
their liking, or can't get that one program to do what they want and end up
leaving...or just dealing with it with a huge chip on their shoulder.

Many people are scared of the forums and trying to fix it themselves for
fear of "breaking it"
Not everyone has the geek-innate ability to properly form a search phrase
for google... :)

I have little doubt that Ubuntu (and modern distros) can take a larger
percentage of the market share and be all most users need (with the
exception of gaming...) but they don't know "how to do stuff" after its
installed.
