[21:20] <Flakeparadigm> Last week's meeting will be available in like 5 minutes
[21:20] <scott_ev> is there anyone here that's willing to put in a litle bit of work on the wiki?
[21:20] <scott_ev> a lot of time and effort has gone into our wiki and it's languishing

[21:21] <Thugal> 10.10 to be released on 10-10-2010  a sunday :(
[21:21] <scott_ev> Dazed_75: awesome
[21:21] <fuzzyvader> scott_ev: will do
[21:21] <scott_ev> I'm going to dive back in and see what else needs to be updated
[21:22] <scott_ev> who here thinks they can make it to the next installfest at UAT?

[21:25] <scott_ev> kk
[21:26] <scott_ev> OK, as most of you already know, I recently was granted Ubuntu membership.  You can do the same thing too.  It all starts with building your own wiki
[21:26] <scott_ev> if you want/need help getting one started, let me know
[21:26] <scott_ev> actually, we should have a tutorial on our wiki
[21:27] <Flakeparadigm> That would be helpful.
[21:27] <scott_ev> but I don't think we do.  There used to be an education coordinator for the team, but that's fallen fallow also
[21:27] <scott_ev> who here has a wiki going?
