I only went last year, with a bunch of guys [0] from Hampshire LUG. We played 
the rather sad but fun Geek Car Numberplate 
Game [1] on the journey up. Hugo Mills won.

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.

Cheers. I have had a flick through what happened in 2005 / 2006 and looks
good.

Now I must remember to book off the 6th and 9th of July. :-)

There was a BoF (Birds Of a Feather) session which IIRC John organised. It was 
a small group of us talking over some ways in 
which Ubuntu could be pimped. I suspect if the same thing happened this year we 
might get more people in the room.

You can also look back through the archives of this list to see what was 
planned.

As I've recently become enamoured of Kubuntu (BasKet is the best thing 
since sliced bread) I'll make sure there's a laptop displaying KDE goodness.

This year's lugradio overlaps with the end of the KDE Akademy
conference in Glasgow, so unfortunately there's unlikely to be many
KDE people there.

Cool, I've added a few ideas. I'll definately be going again this year.

You might want to get in contact with Pete Savage - he is very involved with 
Edubuntu and has helped out at other events such 
as BETT.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LugRadioLive2007

As I ran the Ubuntu stall at previous LRLs, I'll be happy to take
responsibility for the organising etc.

Last year Kubuntu organised separately, and there was a lot of interest
in Edubuntu. We should try to co-ordinate efforts, and have a strong
edubuntu presence.

John




For those who have not been present in previous years. Can you detail the
Ubuntu related activities etc. that have been going on at LUG Radio Live?

[ubuntu-uk] LUGRadio Live 2007 and Ubuntu UK

2007-02-05 Thread Jono Bacon
Hi all,

We have just announced LUGRadio Live 2007 in Wolverhampton on the 7th
and 8th July, and I am keen to have an Ubuntu UK presence there. Would
you chaps like to have a think about what to do at the event. I am
thinking a bunch of BOFs and an exhibition stand would be cool. :)

Maybe someone could stick a wiki page up to begin preparation. :)
