Summary of the September 16, 2007 meeting
The meeting was called to order by johnc4510 at 9:02 PM
First on the agenda was to welcome new members. genmud was unavailable, but we invite him to come to our next meeting so we can all say "HI!". Next was rrbiz. He was an IT for Adelphia back in L.A. for little over 7 years, and then left to reside in Tucson. He got acquainted with knoppix back in 03/04, and has had on and off experience, including taking Linux classes. Next was ngtmagicks, who is living in Mesa AZ now, and has been using Ubuntu for a while now, since right before Edgy came out. Before that he was on again and off again for like 5 years with Slackware and Debian. He has been active for last release on the forums, and posting about it on my livejournal (ngtmagicks.livejournal.com). ngtmagicks was a member of the team for a while when it was first formed, and has now come back. We welcome our new members and are glad you're here.
Next on the agenda was the announcement of a potential upcoming event. Johnc4510 and slofgren have been considering the idea of havning a linux conference to be held on a yearly basis. It was noted that Google has participated in such a conference in Utah in the past. It has an office in Tempe associated with ASU and there would be a chance of getting them to help sponser this. Johnc4510 believes we can also get Ubuntu, and maybe some of it's partners to also help with this idea. This is a long term idea, that would not be implimented until next year sometime. We would try to get the lug's in the state to help work with our team to put this event on. A list of the lugs in the state will be coming out shortly. "It would feature talks on linux and open source from speakers we would try to secure from the open source community in AZ. So, it would be an educational event to further promote linux and open source within our state." ngtmagicks mentioned that Monster.com also has an office in Tempe. This event is in its earliest planning stages, and no team participation is needed at the present, though would be later on. This announcement was for the purpose of informing the team as to the potential of such an event.
The third item on the agenda was the introduction of the Newsletter team. Tyche has taken over translating the log of the meeting into comprehensible minutes. This means that the Newsletter should be coming out every Wednesday, as had been previously done. It was suggested that new members be sure to be signed up on the team mailing list.
