| My expectations for this meetup are to get to know each other a bit. Discuss ideas of what the broad goals of the Maryland group should be. I want to see what level of participation people are willing to give. What resources we can gather together to work from? Does anyone have any projects or organizations that we can help with in particular via our F/OSS ideals and resources? |
Our next meeting will be on July 19th at 7pm. We are still at the [http://www.hclibrary.org/locations/central.php Howard County Library Central Branch]. |

| I will have a very limited amount of Canonical provided Ubuntu 6.06 LTS CDs. I'm planning to have ISO's of the 6.06 (Dapper) and 6.10 (Edgy) Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu releases to burn as requested and as time allows. In addition we'll be doing a [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto Key Signing] for anyone wishing to build up their GPGKey web of trust. So be sure to bring your gpg fingerprint printed on a piece of paper and government issued photo ID. If you intend to participate and want to [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChuckFrain send me] your key early I'll build a separate keyring and provide a list for those people. === About the Gathering === Since I've been asked, I'll answer for all to read. There will be a fee ($6 according to the [http://www.gbhc.org website]) to get into the HamFest, but there is no additional charge for us to gather together:) I decided on this venue for a first meeting due to the already present gathering point that many computer enthusiasts will be at anyway. The 11am time slot was chosen for two reasons. The main reason is that it was available for a full hour. The other was that it seems like after being at the show for a few hours it'll be nice to rest a bit and chat. We will be having meetings in public, cost free facilities at future dates. We've been [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=386357 offered a room] at the [http://hclibrary.org/ Howard County Library] already. I'm also going to be announcing the initial 'official' [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=391569 IRC meeting] in the near future. |
The main topic of conversation will be Software Freedom Day and what we want to have happen. If you have any thoughts on the matter that you want to get out before then, [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=483609 chime in]! |
