Meeting Notes
- Promoting Ubuntu
- We should recruit existing users first to help in spreading the word to new users
- March Break Install Fest
- Back-to-school Event in August, OR
- Software Freedom Day in September
- Targeting politically-minded teenagers (alternative schools) for recruitment and promotion
- Possibly teaming up with organizations who recycle computers, we could install Ubuntu on them and donate them or sell them at a low cost to people who can't afford a new computer
- ubuntutoronto.org
- Should be a recruitment/information site
- Should be a tool to bring in new and existing users
- Vista launch party
- Being held at Toronto Congress Centre, near the airport
- It was more or less decided that the venue prohibits this project.
- Ubuntu Video
- Because this is a special-interest project, it was decided that it should be discussed and developed separately, but keep the core team informed of the progress so that everyone can toss ideas in.
- Other Items of Interest
- Structure and Roles
- It was decided that people tend to work better when there is a visible organized structure.
- This will be discussed in further detail at the next meeting.
- Dave will work on a strategic plan for the upcoming year
- Separating Tasks
- Organized meetings will continue bi-weekly on Wednesdays, the focus of which will be the teams goals.
- Monthly workshops will continue on the first Saturday of every month, to educate new users.
- Ubuntu Video will be a separate, special-interest project.
- A purely social gathering could also be organized, or could be coupled with the monthly workshops.
- Structure and Roles
