Our first event was an installfest to celebrate the Gutsy release. We had some difficulty getting a location pinned down. This event was finally held as a session at BarCampLA and went moderately well even though no installation was actually done. !BarCamps aren't conducive to events like this.

==== June 2008: Presentation at the North Orange County Computer Club ====

The North Orange County Computer Club asked us to give a presentation about Linux and Ubuntu. There were about 50 people in attendance and we handed out a number of CDs and business cards. The audience was mostly unaware of linux and open source in general, and seemed enthusiastic about the concept of Linux.

Once again we had a booth at SCaLE. This weekend coincided with another Global Bug Jam, and we attempted to weave the two together with mixed results. The booth was great, we handed out about one-hundred-fifty CDs over the weekend, but the Bug Jam was a total flop.
