Well there is a link to etiquette on the page that details what the mailing lists are. For reference here it is: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/lists/etiquette Though some of the points are a bit too technical for me to understand. Feel free to ask about them, I'm sure someone will be able to explain them. From your message headers it looks like you use the gmail web interface. You seem to be sending mail in HTML format, this increases your mail size. When composing your message you should see a row of buttons for things like bold and italics, next to that is a link titled 'plain text', click it and the buttons should disappear. Your message will now be sent as text. You may also want to avoid quoting the end of someones message if your not replying to it, saves space and we have seen their signature before anyway. Its easy to overlook though, I now have to make sure I don't do it with this email or I will look a right idiot. As long as the thought is there most people will overlook transgressions, except when the topic is about etiquette. I'm sure someone will pick me up on my etiquette.

The main Ubuntu-related events at previous LRLs have been Mark Shuttleworth doing the headline talk. In 2005 it was a lot about going into space; last year it was his 13 things the Free Software Movement needs to do (now serialised on his blog). There have also been presentations from various of the developers, stalls from Ubuntu and Kubuntu (demonstrating *buntu and giving out many cds), an Open CD presence, and a uk-users meeting. Nexenta (Ubuntu-on-Solaris) were there last year as well, so there's a strong all-pervasive Ubuntu presence generally.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] IT Idiots cover introducing Linux.
I wrote to Nicholas Hill one of the presenters on the show and volunteered to help. He wrote back and agreed that they needed some Linux talking head experience and have asked me for some ideas which I provided; 1. Reintroduce Ubuntu living more Gui than command line and less Automatix 2. Gallery, FSpot and Flickr 3. Basic SME configuration for Ubuntu Server ( Mail, File, Wiki and Backups ) 4. Getting Help and Getting advice from the OSS community ( Maillists, IRC, Forums, Linux User groups ) 5. Living in Linux, the Ubuntu Desktop for daily users (e.g. Mail, Browsers, CDrecording, Camera and Printing ) Now the screencast team are already most of the ways into some of these so this is a great opportunity to repeat and re-iterate the good stuff and point the way to getting support in the long term to new users.

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Scribes - First Meeting Tonight!
Hi, As many of you are aware most Ubuntu related meetings occur online in IRC chat channels for which plenty has already been done to help people find and become involved. These meetings are going on all the time all over the world and generate an awful lot of documentation, discussion, ideas and plans. This information tends to be collated and distributed in a fairly widespread and random fashion. Following on from the value which I feel we have gained in structuring the meetings I felt it would be useful to share that experience and start to help standardise the information and results which arise from those discussions. To this end AusImage and myself, with the prompting of NikButler(Loudmouthman on irc ) have created the Ubuntu Scribes Team. Our goal is to encourage other teams even unto the Community Council to develop and use the Mootbot and meeting structure to help with the process of documenting and recording meetings. Your thoughts, views and feelings for tonights first meeting of the Scribes team would be invaluable and I hope you can attend. The meeting will be in #ubuntu-scribes on irc.frenode.net at 8pm GMT. For more information read the following links and help set this idea moving forward in the community.

Ok, first two are negative. 1. They said at the start that they would not add the linux box to their active directory / domain, many reasons given, one was that it was untrusted, didn't know what it would do. Whilst I agree partly with the sentiment it did make me think - What? like you know exactly what all that closed-source software is doing on your AD/domain any more than this open source software does?. It just struck me as a negative thing to say off the bat. 2. The very very very first demo they show a bunch of people who have never seen Linux is to install a bit of software using apt-get!? What on earth!? Seriously, if you were showing someone Windows for the first time, would you break out a command prompt window and start showing them ipconfig /all or whatever?
