<dthomasdigital> http://softwarefreedomday.org/PortalesLinux new team this year
<dthomasdigital> The Albuquerque just might get Cottonwood mall after all too
<gcleric> dthomasdigital: nice!
<dthomasdigital> we will know first part of July
<dthomasdigital> but it looks good
<jimrz> oooh
<genfool> sounds great
<dthomasdigital> ColonelPanik is representing the East big time thanks for the hard work
<gcleric> dthomasdigital:   is there a plan "B"  ... I like backups.
<gcleric> =)
<dthomasdigital> we touch on that a little last week
<ColonelPanik> Yes plan B is you come to Portales
<gcleric> Ok.. is there a plan "C"... =P
<dthomasdigital> Should we contact the other mall?
<dthomasdigital> or albuquerque uptown?
<gcleric> Uptown... would be difficult and weather permitting.
<jimrz> si
<gcleric> as it is out side.
<dthomasdigital> I'll keep on with my Cottonwood contact, anyone want to contact the other areas?
<gcleric> unless we hang outside the apple store. =P
<dthomasdigital> gcleric that woudl rock
<jimrz> indeed
<gcleric> I think that Corrando would be another choice.
<dthomasdigital> I gree
<jimrz> +1
<gcleric> +1 .. I'll vote for my own idea.
<gcleric> =)
<dthomasdigital> so any volunteers to make contact.
<gcleric> I'll take it.
<gcleric> whom did you ask for when you contacted Cottonwood?
<dthomasdigital> Thanks gcleric I'll keep you posted on Cottonwood mall, they are ready to help but won't know till mid-July
<dthomasdigital> there marketing director
<gcleric> that's the route I'll take.
<dthomasdigital> OK ready for the next item?
<jimrz> sure
<genfool> why not two locations ,,, if they both work out?
<dthomasdigital> Oh ColonelPanik again let me know what we cna do to help support Portales
<kenneth> I'm in walking distance of Cottonwood mall
<gcleric> genfool:  I'm down with that.
<dthomasdigital> genfool, hard enough getting people to show up at one
<jimrz> me too
<dthomasdigital> but I'm open
<ColonelPanik> There are numerous game/computer/coffee places in Albuq/RR  Maybe a display in each of them.  Even if its just a poster and some CDs?
<jimrz> we have enough active folks now to handle
<genfool> If for some reason one falls through the cracks???
<gcleric> ColonelPanik: that's a good Idea!  A mini display with CD's.
<dthomasdigital> That;s true this year we really need to market will hel the LoCo, SFD, and NMLF
<gcleric> dthomasdigital: agreed.
<genfool> exactly
<dthomasdigital> I've all ready started working on flyers
<jimrz> yep
<dthomasdigital> I want to conatct the other LUG's and get them involved too
<gcleric> anyone know anyone at one of the local new outlets?
<gcleric> ...news
<dthomasdigital> I see Rod Green every day snooping through court records
<gcleric> a quick mention doesn't hurt.
<dthomasdigital> I'll see what I can do I know a few camera folks to
<dthomasdigital> also ads in the alibi, and other free newspapers 
<gcleric> and lobo
<genfool> kkob am talk radio has a few hours a week for callers to call in and plug there business.
<dthomasdigital> I'll add the info here http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/northamerica/NM/Albuquerque/NewMexicoUbuntuLoco
<gcleric> genfool: is there prior contact required or is it a dry call?
<dthomasdigital> genfool good idea as the date gets closer we need to remember that
<tritium> dthomasdigital: on that URL, are you able to edit it to be "LoCo", not "Loco"?
<ColonelPanik> The schools will be in session, hit the science/computer teachers
<dthomasdigital> Sure my bad
<genfool> no, just call in, Fridays  after 5:00 pm, will have to verify, listen to it all the time.
<tritium> ...short for Local Community, and no, it doesn't mean crazy :)
<dthomasdigital> changes made
<dthomasdigital> ask and you shall receive 
<dthomasdigital> tritium you know your my editor anyway.
<tritium> hah, sometimes, I suppose
<dthomasdigital> I'll be adding a item and responsibility list ASAP

<dthomasdigital> Lots of new people have been coming to the meetings
<dthomasdigital> not a lot of new people on the mailing list
<dthomasdigital> we need to be sure and point them to our contacts page when we can
<dthomasdigital> Just a thought.

<tritium> Come on, Dwight.  Make your free throws...
<dthomasdigital> Oh I just figured out why tritium is so quite
