UBUNTU: There must be a leader

[minty]

****  I'm Vince! This is my vague concept of an idea  *******
I believe
there must be a leader

stock should be taken of people who are willing or wanting to help

A task should be selected for undertaking

things that need to be done to facilitate said task should be organized 
into a list and should be emailed or posted online

those willing to help should be able to sign themselves up for a task 
and the leader should ensure that all things that are needed to be taken 
care of are taken care of
 
so we need a leader, a nice chat session, and some resolve! It would be 
nice to shock some people when they see that people are actually out 
handing out a free operating system, and offering support and what not. 
i dont know .. ..

maybe I dont know what i'm talkin about, but it would nice to see at 
least SOMETHING come together.

below is just a rant so dont read it if you dont want to listen to me rant

by the way I'm no linux expert, and I've not done anything so far that 
would put me into the position being the person to send this email, but 
I'd like to think that it I can help. Basically I get this funny feeling 
that I'm totally out of line even trying to help. I dont know anyone, I 
dont know what experience others might have, and I feel out of place. 
Still I have organized more than one music festival and used to throw 
lots of small concerts down here in Olympia, so maybe my event planning 
side can help.  In my fantasy we have a nice little booth where people 
come and say, "An operating system that's not windows sounds 
interesting," and we cut off and say, "Oh it's awesome, let me show you 
some of the features," and by the time were done they walk away cursing 
Microsoft, and  dreaming of  a better world and a faster computer.  When 
and where  this fantasy could be lived out  I  just dont know. Most 
people are attached to windows, like my 1 1/2 year old is to her 
favorite blanket.  I dont know where you can go that people are really 
gonna welcome someone whos telling them that their windows (blanky) is 
not necessary and even harmful. Maybe colleges are the best hope. The 
younger crowd might be more open to new ideas like linux, whereas older 
folks are likely to remember less pretty days of linux and remember that 
through a lot of those days windows was at their side with its bells and 
whistles at hand.  Yes I believe the children are our future. I've 
contemplated not sending this email. oh well

Where does everyone live by the way? I'm in Olympia. Determining a 
central location might help decide where a good place to start is for 
events.
