[14:07] The airport is really out there though. [14:07] I mean we have our trains that go from it to a college though [14:37] well, it seemed a nice thought [14:47] It could work though if we use the college on the A line. [19:16] @ahoneybun, oh :D [19:17] I am losing intenet on and off today. Hopefully fixed tomorrow! [19:18] So the University is CU. [19:18] http://www.rtd-denver.com/routemaps/2514/A.pdf [19:18] @acheronuk [19:20] @ahoneybun, Could you ask around to see if they'd be open to hosting such a thing? [19:21] I could stop by maybe thursday since I that off and it's on the way to the A line for my flight. [19:21] I might need numbers and what we expect like food hosting or things like that. [19:22] A line is like 9 bucks too so not that bad and you don't need a car to get to the event from the airport! [19:43] I've already advocated for System76 to be chosen for the next KDE laptop vendor [19:43] so maybe the team there would be interested in being part of the hosting team [20:00] Chosen? Pretty sure the team would need to reach out for that. [20:01] right now they are working with Slimbook in Spain [20:02] I don't think the team doing that has the energy to work with a new company yet [20:02] but I wanted System76 to be on their radar [20:06] I don't think system76 will either though. Our focus is Pop!_OS with GNOME. [20:06] They can pick System76 but we most likely would not do that. [20:07] well, the partnership is going well with slimbook for now [20:07] afaik [20:07] valorie can you get any number of past akademys to give the CU? [20:08] honestly I would just install Kubuntu on the Galago Pro. [20:08] maybe write to the board or akademy-team ? [20:08] Then buy that Slimbook. [20:08] what is the email? [20:08] got it,. [20:09] kde-ev-board@kde.org, akademy-team@kde.org [20:14] Email sent. [20:14] Gave a few reasons to pick Denver. [20:15] akademy group photo link is broken. [20:20] well, Denver won't be chosen without a team stepping up to make a bid [20:26] I'll see what I can do with the Ubuntu LoCo here. [20:27] excellent [20:27] We'll reach out Emma and I will. [20:27] there may be some sort of LUG there in Denver as well [20:28] often the uni students are the best ones [20:28] Most likely but I just know of the CO LoCo. [20:28] sure, and they might have other contacts [20:28] I'll put some feelers out at the CU once I heard back from the Akadamy Team. [20:28] you could look at techie Meetup groups and see if there's anything interesting [20:29] We do have a LUG. [20:29] https://www.meetup.com/The-Denver-Boulder-Linux-Meetup-Group/ [20:31] Message sent to their admin. He's been to our Pop release parties and Emma knows him. [21:03] cool [21:04] flying to Denver would be much easier and cheaper than Europe (for me) if less exciting [21:12] Denver is exciting :) [21:25] it's true that I've never eaten moose hotdogs, and I guess you can there! [21:26] http://www.bikerjimsdogs.com/ [21:36] Oh I've been there! [21:36] It's good!
