21:06 < evilgourmet> sounds good johnc4510 
21:06 < johnc4510> ok, next
21:07 < johnc4510> Jeff Martin aka evilgourmet is setting up an install fest for his area. Kingman, Lake Havasu, etc. https://edge.launchpad.net/~mcc-ubuntu 
21:07 < johnc4510> I'm going to set up a wiki page and make this a sub-team project. Jeff has asked for volunteers, but I'm not sure that we have anyone else in that area.
21:07 < johnc4510> However, when we get the Ed Team pages ready, it should help with support by giving insight to the various pre-installed programs and also showing alternatives to them. Please join Jeff's team at the launchpad link above and let's help support him and his project. :)  Nice work Jeff !!
21:08 < tyche> Way to go, Jeff!
21:08 < johnc4510> evilgourmet: you want to add anything?
21:08 < johnc4510> if not i would like to ask a couple of ?'s
21:08 < johnc4510> :)
21:08 < johnc4510> like
21:09 < johnc4510> which Ubuntu release are you going to use
21:09 < evilgourmet> Well the ubuntu-mcc is mostly for people to install and help others install and run single or dual boot ubuntu M$ installations
21:09 < evilgourmet> there is quite a bit of interest, I have handed out a few CDs 
21:09 < evilgourmet> Really waiting for the 7.10 fianl to start the installfest
21:10 < johnc4510> ah, so we can add places we want to have install fests at to your team list?
21:10 < evilgourmet> up till then I am setting up a school club, 
21:10 < evilgourmet> yes, posting install fests there would be great
21:10 < johnc4510> cool
21:10 < johnc4510> that makes a lot of sense
21:10 < evilgourmet> I would be glad to travel to Flagstaff to help if they have one up there
21:11 < johnc4510> cool
21:11 < johnc4510> i'll keep that in mind
21:11 < johnc4510> any other questions about this 
21:11 *** johnc4510 ok next then
21:11 < johnc4510> Gutsy Release Parties
21:11 < johnc4510> Tucson and Phoenix
21:12 < johnc4510> Ok, tyche has a tentative place to hold the Phoenix Party. Deseert Ridge Shopping Mall. It has plenty of seating, is a nice place, has free wifi, and is right off the 101 freeway. Of course, if someone has a better idea, we are always open to suggestions. 
21:12 < johnc4510> also food is available there
21:12 < tyche> Best of all, no reservations are necessary, and dress is casual.
21:13 *** johnc4510 do any of you phoenix people have any other ideas about a place or should we go with that one?
21:13 < tapH20guru> what time / date are we thinking?
21:14 < johnc4510> coming to that is a sec
21:14 < johnc4510> :)
21:14 < tapH20guru> k
21:14 < johnc4510> As for Tucson, I've sent an email to Bookman's requesting a booking of their conference room on East Speedway. I have not heard back from them yet, so I don't know for sure that it is free. Their web site shows conflicting data. If it is not open, I have a couple of other ideas. Again, if you have an idea, feel free to give it.
21:14 < johnc4510> These Gusty Release Parties will be on Thursday, October 18th. Times are not finalized yet, but should be around 7:00 PM local time. We will have more on that later. These events will be open to members, their significant others, and any friends or acquaintances who you think would be interested in learning about the latest version of Ubuntu.
21:15 < johnc4510> in other words, the more the merrier
21:16 < johnc4510> so, once we get these set, i encourage everyone to bring a friend and help us kick off the new version of Ubuntu
21:16 < johnc4510> :)
21:16 < johnc4510> advocacy is one of the basic things the loco'
21:16 < johnc4510> are set up for
21:16 < johnc4510> and 
21:17 < johnc4510> this is a great chance to advocate for Ubuntu in AZ
21:17 *** johnc4510 does anyone else have anything else they wish to discuss?
21:18 < UncleSam> End of Meeting Have a great week!
