My apologies if this (what I am about to say) is so obvious, that it is a waste of bits (electrons?) to type it. You should consider getting in touch with (/"involving") the folks from the "Ariziona LoCo" of *Ubuntu * (see https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-arizona) Their team leader: "John Crawford aka johnc4510", (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnCrawford) "John Crawford" -- OR: -- (does this one work? :-) ("see also" https://launchpad.net/~johnc4510) ...and I think one of their other main (active) members is Craig A. Eddy (see https://launchpad.net/~tyche) ...so I am sending each of them, a Cc: of this. SOME of these people, (along with others - like, me) can be seen in the photos from about 1.5 years ago ("05/17/2008") at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/Installfest (from there), they were also copied to (and *"tagged" on*) facebook, -- at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=27343&id=664267723&l=4951861bed ...which is "public link" URL, so it "should" work OK, even if you do not have your own facebook account [password]. By the way, if any of you are in those photos ((other URL: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=27343&id=664267723)) and you would like your "tag" to be a proper hyper link to your facebook profile page, then contact me on facebook. ALSO, I noticed that Ted Gould's name was mentioned, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue179 (as part of item "4." under "Tuesday") -- so I am also sending him a Cc: of this. (some of *those Cc:'s* "might" be, readers who 'also' already subscribe to *PLUG-Discuss.* Oops, sorry! :-) Just "FYI"... -- Mike Schwartz Glendale AZ schwartz@acm.org On Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 12:14 PM, Dazed_75 wrote: > Stephen and X Y, > The special part is that it is not a public event and not a PLUG event. > Mesa Regal is a 55+ RV park with an active computer club.
