• Question: How do we maintain a strong, focused team in terms of advocacy, projects (ie. docs), when we tend to be loosely organized? Is that even an issue?

• OhioUbuCon08. Vorian wants help. Do we want to help?

• Website control. Currently we are supported/hosted by Canonical and have through go through them for website support. The planet has been done for months. Thoughts?
• The Future

  • Ubuntu-Illinois needs help to get up off the ground. Mike is having a child and can't be expected to do all the work himself. Let's help him do this and get the CodeSprint in action. Ubuntu Forums is a very popular way of discussing and talking about Ubuntu. Let's also aim for a stronger presence on the forums/integrating those users into our network.

  • We need a Plan of Action for all the releases. Install fest/promotions. Talks at other LUGs, etc.

Meeting Topic Queue

If there is a technical topic you'd like to teach to others, or if there is something you'd like to learn about from others, please make note of it on that page.
