the release is the night before SCaLE starts. Will Canonical be flashing phones at the Ubuntu booth at SCaLE? If so, is this the type of thing where we should do a press release with Canonical/Ubuntu?

No, Canonical is not involved in the Ubuntu booth at SCALE and never has been.
I intend to flash my phone for use as a demonstration (although I will have to confirm whether or not that's practical on Thursday). I would be happy to bring the file along if you would like to flash your phone but I certainly won't do it for you or take any kind of liability or responsibility for it. :P
You'll need a GSM-based Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4 in order to flash your phone. Additionally, it will destroy all data and software currently on your phone.
Finally, this will be a preview release intended for developers and enthusiasts and we have no idea what will be included. Hopefully basic call and SMS functionality. Probably Unity lens functionality. Maybe camera and bluetooth functionality. Probably nothing else.
Regards, Nathan
Thanks for the update, Nathan.

OK. I thought I recalled a seperate Canonical booth a couple of years ago. All of the people there from Canonical or Ubuntu that I knew were Canonical employees. Well, aside from local members of AZLoCo.

I understand not wanting to flash phones on your own.

Yeah, my main thought was for a press release since SCaLE would start the very next day and because UbuCon is also the very next day... :)
If the Nexus line had external storage ( like it should!!! ), then I would consider it, but, yeah, not putting an initial developers release on my phone :).

There was a Canonical booth, and it was entirely independent. They did give us keychain lanyards though! And some extra CDs, I think. Although I know Jorge and Jono have stopped by briefly, everyone else at the Ubuntu booth is a project member or a community volunteer.
It likewise makes sense that everyone at the Canonical booth is a Canonical employee.

You can look at my phone, and if it's shiny enough I don't mind letting you use one of the computers to flash your phone. ;) But I'm not in charge of the booth and don't know what the computer situation is a the moment.
