This would be really slick. After you put in your location( integrated
into the Time Zone selection), during the installation (or
post-install) you would be presented with information regarding your
local LoCo team and other local resources, such as a Linux User Group
in your area. I’ve never been to a LUG or LoCo meeting, perhaps
because I needed to seek them out… getting a prompt every reinstall
might be annoying, but it would be a good reminder that they exist.<br><br><br></div></div></body></html>
