I'm Brian, from San Francisco by way of Berkeley by way of San Jose. All I'm missing is Marin and I'll have all points of the Bay Area compass. I use Edgy and Gnome on my laptop and Debian Etch on my desktop.
Maybe we could get enough people on a mailing list to appear to have big numbers, then lobby for discounts with some stores.
We could also maybe shake up the LOCO naming paradigm. I think Yay Area Ubuntu Society of America -- YAUSA -- has a nice ring.
Incidentally, I have a gift certificate for Barnes and Noble that I am expecting to redeem for tech books. I used a bit under half of it for the O'Reilly Asterisk book, which is great. Has anyone got any thoughts about what else I might look at?
