Still several things to confirm, but here's the wiki page for it:

Please add your names if you can (maybe) come.

I certainly have a Hardy DVD, and will have an Intrepid CD image to
burn. If we get someone from one of our Institutions of Higher
Bandwidth coming, maybe we'll have Intrepid DVD images too.

That would be the updates for feisty... you would know if it's
upgrading to a newer release.

That would get your Feisty up to date: in Synaptic Package Manager,
click Mark All Upgrades, then File / Generate package download script.
If someone volunteers to download the packages for you, send them that
script and they can easily pull down the packages and write them to CD
for you.

You can't upgrade from Feisty to Hardy (or Intrepid) without going via
Gutsy, so you might want to consider a fresh install of Intrepid. It
helps to have /home on a separate partition for that, but otherwise
(or anyway) back it up first...
