Successful Ubuntu Hour in Jo'burg today

Thank you queery1985 for sharing CDs and for organising the Ubuntu Hour. Here are the pics.

Jo'burg Ubuntu Hour and CDs across the country

Thank you queery for organising an ubuntu hour in Joburg. Three people at the first one is a fantastic start. 

Each LoCo has it's own environment and culture and in ubuntu-za land we struggle with huge distances among members and expensive bandwidth. To alleviate this we have set up a network of 14 enthusiastic volunteers in all the major centers who are willing to help people get a copy of an iso. Last week I sent CDs to all the volunteers. The idea is that you find someone closest to you on the ubuntu-za website and get an iso from them. We still need to get the latest info of the volunteers on the website but you should also be able to ask on the mailing list and discover who is closest to you.

ubuntu-za Regional Contacts get Natty CDs soon

After some email to and fro and delays hoping for lifts for the CDs and waiting for addresses I finally sent the CDs. The parcels are in the mail and the post office said it would take 3 days. We have 12 regional contact people on the list, 2 are local so I hand delivered the CDs, one in Durban I got a lift some weeks ago already. 2 didn't send me an address and the remaining 7 will receive CDs in the next few days. So now I think there are 7 people all over the country that owe me a Cappucino and a muffin :) (that's roughly the price of the envelope and the postage) Also I am hoping I'll get some photos of people sharing the CDs.
