It isn't Microsoft that is speaking or meeting, it is "potential"
Ubuntu users, documentors and trainers.

If you really want to "crash the party" I'd ask that you not do it the
name of Ubuntu....  Leaves a bad taste in peoples' mouths.

If you don't want to hear what they have to say, you can sit and hack
free software or just leave.  But I prefer to know what people are
saying locally about Vista, and politely pointing out issues if they
don't.

But I did suggest handing out disks - that would be the main point.

I just think this would be among the worst of places to make a scene.
We want NCAR to be on our side, and invite us to give talks....

None of that rules out demonstrating about monopolists on their own
turf, but again, there are plenty of better groups to sponsor that
than Ubuntu LoCos I think.
