Roadmap

This group is for anyone in the Republic of Ireland who uses or is interested in all flavours of Ubuntu, whether it's Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu or any other variation. This group caters for people of all technical abilities from the person who has never heard of linux or Ubuntu to a kernel developer.

Experience

Since our last loco approval we have continued to:

• ... Consistently hold monthly IRC meetings, refining the structure to ensure efficiency. Details of these meetings can be found here. We have embraced the new LoCo Directory Meeting feature for scheduling our routine meetings. We are currently using the Wiki and LoCo Dir to track meeting Data but hope to migrate to the LoCo dir in the near future.

• ... Consistently produce concise monthly Team Reports in a timely fashion.
• ... hold release parties at the time of release for each great Ubuntu iteration.

• ... distribute the LoCo pack of CDs around the country

• ... hold monthly face to face meetings (Ubuntu Hours)
• ... hold regular social events not in a pub.
• ... expanded beyond a Dublin centric grouping with activities occurring regularly in Limerick and same in Cork.

Since our last loco approval, we have done these new things:

• ... expand the monthly Ubuntu Hours outside of the capital city, Dublin

• ... started a podcast (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubuntu-ie-Pods/120531968014712)

• ... started using Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/ubuntuie) and identica (http://identi.ca/ubuntuie) to communicate with the community.
