 Denver sounds good? @ahoneybun
 Yep I got the notification of me being mentioned lol.
 The airport is really out there though.
 I mean we have our trains that go from it to a college though
 well, it seemed a nice thought
 It could work though if we use the college on the A line.
 @ahoneybun, oh :D
 I am losing intenet on and off today. Hopefully fixed  tomorrow!
 So the University is CU.

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