(Status : Approved)
I advocate OSS and Ubuntu Linux in the state of Utah. I would love to see OSS more widely used in homes, businesses and government offices. Below are our ["UtahTeam"] proposed steps:

=== Step 1 ===
As a Team we are working on recruiting more local users. This is done through regular CD distribution in Universities and local hardware/service shops. A stronger local support base will be critical to growing & supporting Ubuntu in the state of Utah.

=== Step 2 ===
We are planning on presenting the state offices with information on migrating to OSS. Drafts and letters to be made available as they are produced.

We also plan on distributing Edubuntu/Ubuntu within local school districts.

=== Step 3 ===
Support! We have setup a website, IRC channel and mailing list to support continued growth in the area. This is the key step. Without the support of a strong and widespread team base these goals will not be possible.

About Me

attachment:IconsPage/PicIRC.png My name is Christer Edwards, 27yrs old, and I have been an Ubuntu user for two years. I am an [http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/newmember Official Ubuntu Member] and founder of the UtahTeam. I am an Internet Business Consultant by trade, but Free Software is my real passion.

I got my first introduction to Free Software about a decade ago with FreeBSD, I tried Red Hat 9, Mandrake, Slackware and finally found my place with Ubuntu when 5.04 was released. I have completely switched since!

Ubuntu Community

attachment:IconsPage/IconHandshake.png I am the founder of the UtahTeam. We are, currently, one of the few approved US based teams. We have some great members on this team and I'm proud to be a member of this group. I'm very happy to be able to contribute to the Ubuntu project as a team leader. Currently I am working with other local LUG leaders to organize the [http://www.utos.org Utah Open Source Conference].

I am also an active Team Mentor as part of the USTeams Project, with the primary goal of establishing a community team in each US state by the end of 2007. So far the response has been amazing and I know we'll reach our goal!
