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" <johnc4510@cox.net> -- OR: -- 
(does this one work? :-) <johnc4510@ubuntu.com>
("see also" https://launchpad.net/~johnc4510)

...and I think one of their other main (active) members 
is Craig A. Eddy <tyche@ {ubuntu.com|cox.net} >
(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"...

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.  Eric Shubert, myself and a Linux end user user recently attended an Expo they held.  We manned a Linux table.  We now have 17 people signed up for this installfest for their club.  We did this 2 years ago and installed Linux for 25 people.

X Y,
Since I have no idea who you are, it is hard to know anything abut you.  But if you can help install ubuntu 9.10 as a standalone, dual boot with windows, or to replace an old Linux in a dual boot environment we can use you.  I wil plan on your attendance.  Please tell me if I know you and who you are even if you do that off list.

What's special with this particular fest!!??
If you cannot find anyone else you can count on me, I live in the area.
Please let me know not later than Thursday morning - noon.
 
Regards!

There will be an installfest on Saturday Feb 13 at Mesa Regal, at 4700 E Main St (Apache Trail) in Mesa, about 1/3 mile east
of Greenfield on the North side of the street:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=4700+e+main+st+mesa+az&ie=UTF8&z=12&ll=33.415681,-111.729927&spn=0.19716,0.338173&om=1&iwloc=addr

We will be in their computer room from 8:30 AM till early afternoon.  I believe we have 14 Ubuntu 9.10 installs (mostly dual boots) scheduled and only 3 volunteers.
 - Larry Thiel (me)
 - Eric Shubert
 - Joe Zagar (at least I think he will be there)

I could use at least 2 more people to help.  Dennis Kibbe, Patrick Callahan, Robert Callahan, and JT Moree helped at this event a couple of years ago but I have no idea if they are available this time.  If you can help out, please let me know asap.
