Hi Christian: I'd like to go if there is room on the list. I just went to the embarcadero this weekend with a friend, so getting to the studio shouldn't be a problem at all ^_^. Just so I'm clear, are the people on the list just going to be in the audience? Or should I brush up on my one liners

Hi all. I am presently staying in San Francisco, for an unknown amount of time. At least 4 weeks I think. I'm not sure who is all up here, but I should be able to make the next Ubuntu Hour @ The Roastery on the 14th of December. Look forward to meeting some of you. seidos -- Ubuntu-us-ca mail

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Statistically speaking: server line makes desktop line more likely to be "Linux Friendly"?

Just wanted to do a brief survey against a hypothesis to see if I'm crazy or not. Given mainstream computer manufacturers, is the probability that their desktop and notebook systems will be "Linux friendly" positively correlated to whether or not they have a Server line? -- seidos http://fiction

I couldn't help but get the feeling that we might be taking this leadership election a little too seriously. Maybe it would help to point out the truism that a leader can't force anyone to do anything on our team. All they can do is make suggestions. I mean, from the looks of things we're all vo

I can't really offer any discussion without a definition for the word "leader" in the context of a LoCo, and more specifically the California LoCo. Perhaps we should create the wiki ourselves, since we're insistent on having one? Maybe it would help if we assumed a specific title instead of "lead
