Surely there must be some sponsorship to be got? - Canonical? -----Original Message----- From: ubuntu-uk-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:ubuntu-uk-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com] On Behalf Of pa...@fossbox.org.uk Sent: 29 March 2010 10:39 To: UK Ubuntu Talk Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] London Ubuntu install party?
I'm interested in getting involved in the install party. Our group is just starting up a community cloud project and I'm happy to talk about some Ubuntu/LTSP pilots we're currently running with NGOs. If the venue is small, I think it might work to do two separate events - one oriented towards business/NGOs and the other a more informal 'do' for people in general who might like to experiment with Ubuntu. Either date is fine for me, but I think it's best not to clash with other events that people will want to go to? I dunno about £25 - I think it might discourage quite a few people. Surely there must be some sponsorship to be got? Anyone got any ideas about who to approach? I'll give it some thought . . .
