Ubuntu Hour CD bribery program!

Apparently, telling you all that hosting an Ubuntu Hour is "easy" and
"fun" isn't enough motivation for y'all, so I've decided to resort to
bribery.

Coincidentally, I have a box of Natty Narwhal CDs from Canonical.

I am willing to send ten (10) CDs at my own expense to anyone who
offers to host an Ubuntu Hour by the end of June.

For more about what an Ubuntu Hour is, see the wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour
For some advice on how to run one, see askubuntu.com:

Basically, an Ubuntu Hour is an informal meet-up to help build
community.  Invite local Linux/Ubuntu people (or your friends,
whatever) to come chat with you.  Put it up on the LoCo directory.
Let people on this mailing list know.  Then spend a nice hour getting
to know other cool people and talking about your favourite operating
systems (and other things, as tends to happen).

It's easy!  And fun!

I'd encourage you to hand out the CDs during the Hour.  But if you
have other uses for them, by all means, so long as it's in the
interest of spreading Ubuntu.

Let me know if you'd like a few Kubuntu or Ubuntu Server CDs.  You're
getting mostly regular Ubuntu CDs no matter what, because I have so
many more of those, but I can add some variety to the mix if you want.
 I will very likely include some stickers and buttons as well.

Email me off-list your address and details about what you're planning
to do for your Ubuntu Hour, and I'll get your CDs in the mail.

Darcy.
