I think the college idea is great.  When I used to go to UMBC, the local LUG group would set up shop in one of the CS buildings for install-fests.  They usually had a pretty good turn out since they were right in the middle of campus.  <br> <br>Is there anyone on the list with a college affiliation?  Alex and I go to Temple, so we have at least one option there.<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 4:54 AM, Elizabeth Bevilacqua <<a href="mailto:lyz@ubuntu.com">lyz@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="Ih2E3d">On 3/2/08, Brian Stempin <<a href="mailto:brian.stempin@gmail.com">brian.stempin@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> > Are there any pending plans for a release party?<br> ><br> > If not, is it too soon for our LoCo team to start?<br> <br> </div>This was discussed a bit at our meeting last night.<br> <br> Since this is an LTS release, and the Ubuntu Marketing team is really<br> pushing the LoCo team involvement, our thought is that rather than do<br> a social release get-together we had for Gutsy, we'll want to push a<br> more outreachy release party.<br> <br> Alex suggested malls and college campuses as possible locations to<br> have it.
