www.solarwirelessmile.com @ Corporal Burns Park during Head of the Charles Race

[Ralph deGennaro]

Hi Brian,

This is really cool.  Both the solarwirelessmile.com as well as the idea of
the event.  I will definitely try to stop by for a bit.

On a more practical note, have you advertised for your event?  Do you mind
throwing some ideas/pointers our way?

Also, it'd be too late for your event, but what do people think about
putting events that just have Ubuntu in someway on our LoCo calendar?
Something to help promote those using Ubuntu in the area?

Best,
Rio
