Indeed, I agree.

Having the party in a restaurant would allow more people to enter
(compared to a bar) without keeping those of us who would like to
enjoy a beer from doing so.

We have no real "membership" list. If you participate enough to feel a
part of the team, then you're a member. Welcome aboard! :-)

I'm betting there are many of you who never post to this mailing list,
but who are out there getting the word out; talking to your friends
and family about Ubuntu or giving presentations at libraries and such.
;-)

That's more important than being on any list. You're all LoCo members
in my book.

There *is* such a thing as an "Ubuntu Member", though, which is an
earned title meant to recognize significant and sustained
contributions to the community. There is a formal process for
attaining the title of "Ubuntu Member", and LoCo participation is an
excellent way to fulfill Ubuntu Membership requirements.

Great! See what I mean. You're out there in the trenches spreading the
Ubuntu love. If anyone's a member, it's you.

I look forward to hearing all about how it goes. Take pictures, if you
can, for those of us who can't make it.

Take care!
