    Dangit...

    I am more disposed to getting together in Nashville than Franklin...

    I'll give a few ideas for where we could meet, then give a date we could get together, with at least two weeks lead time.

    Cafe Coco, off Elliston Place
    Frothy Monkey, Belmont Blvd
    Borders, 2505 West End
    City Limits Cafe, Bellevue
    Todd's Butcher Shop and Deli, Charlotte Pike

    Also, would Sunday afternoon be amicible?

    Re: Alright, Tennesseans, what's on your mind?

    hey. i am from nashville and i am nearing completion of my computer. a friend of mine is going to help me put it together tommorrow and all the pieces are at his house. i'm glad to see i'm not the only one in nashville using ubuntu, and that i am not alone in the quest to spread the knowlege of its presence. so far i have almost convinced several of my friends, but they want to see it in action first, and i've ordered several live CDs for people just to prove that it was entirely free. i hope to see more people using ubuntu, and i may suggest edubuntu to several school systems as an alternative to pricy windows. i look forward to being an active member in this forum.

    That's great! I have a few "Edubuntu on the old computer for the kids" converts but no primary computer converts yet.

    TheOpenCD has been more of a success. OpenOffice.org is being used by quite a few locals now and Audacity is proving to be a great intro to Open Source, especially with high schoolers.

    Plus one computer shop that is giving out TheOpenCD for those in need of a word processor instead of selling MS Office upgrades. The shop owner agrees that the word-of-mouth advertising for giving out totally-free software will be great for building up his reputation (it is a fairly new shop) and will reap far greater rewards down the road than his software markups today.

    I am in favor of the Nashville area for the gathering. I think that would be the most logical area for the time being and if we never do a kick off meeting, this idea might never get off the ground. At least those of us that went, could take photos and post and maybe that would encourage more to come out in the future!

    I live in Franklin, go to school in the boro (MTSU), work in Nashville, and have been using Linux since 2003. I started on Mandrake 7, and now use Ubuntu since 5.04. I have a SMB/DHCP/DNS/HTTP/MDNS server that has been up for 160 some odd days now, and it still is moving right along, hasnt even dipped into the swap file. I cant run Ubuntu on the desktop due to being in the Windows (CIS) department at school, but I love running Linux servers. I would love to have an informal get-together if possible.

    Hey guys. I'm another Todd, but this time over toward Knoxville. I've been using linux on and off since toying with Slackware on a 386 a long time ago, and have gone fully linux on both of my work machines as well as my main gaming rig at home. I toyed with making the total-immersion plunge with edgy, but finally went thru with it when Feisty was released.

    I've always WANTED to switch fully, but I can't let go of my windows games. Once I discovered that Cedega supported WoW (and nicely, I might add), that was all I needed.

    Right now, I think the only thing that ever plagues me at work or at home is the current state of wireless support, but thankfully my laptop has an ethernet jack as well, so I'm good for the most part.

    TT
