Lugradio Live USA 2008 and Penguicon

Whew, what a busy month it's been so far.

I spent last weekend at Lugradio Live USA where I got to meet a bunch of great people. I am convinced this show is going to expand a great deal. I think it's excellent to have community-driven shows, since ours are a great deal smaller than the ones in Europe and the rest of the world. Penguicon 6.0 is this weekend in Detroit. Check out the plethora of events.

• More Lugradio Live coverage from Sandy Armstrong.
• Other great community shows in the US are SCALE, Penguicon, Ohio LinuxFest, and the new kid on the block, Ontario Linux Fest. I spent some time talking to one of Ontario Linux Fest's organizers, Richard Weait, it's going to be a great show this year, so stay tuned.
• Don't miss Scott James Remnant's updates on Upstart.
• Bored? Help test the Ubuntu 8.04 release candidate images.
• After all that testing, reward yourself by attending one of the many release parties in an area near you. If there isn't one, make one!
• Check out Aaron and Gabriel's talk about Banshee from LRL-USA.
• Thanks to Zonker and Novell for taking care of shipping the GNOME North American Event Box back to the Foundation.
• Thanks to Nathan Haines and his whole family from the California LoCo for taking care of the Ubuntu Booth at LRL and making that rock.
• Shout out to Dave, Vlad, and Chris from MoCo, Ian and Stephan from Songbird. Ian has an old Eazel shirt, I wonder how many people remember Eazel.
• Review Board is quite cool.
• This is getting too long, if I missed you, post a comment. :)

Edit: Duh, of course, thanks to Aq, Matt, and Chris, whom I've never met before, for being real life versions of their radio selves.
