Maybe we could look at something in early May (I won't be able to do anything from about 15th to 22nd May as I'll be on holiday in Cornwall). Not sure if we could maybe do some sort of Ubuntu demonstration? What we could do with is a big sponsor who could advertise the event (hence thinking of Palm, I wonder if we could do something with them as they have the right connections - for instance their big event in November on Paignton Green).
