| We will be meeting in the Exhibition Hall meeting room from 11am until 12 noon. I'll be posting more of an agenda in the next couple of days, but it won't be anything real formal. |
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? 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 send me your key early I'll build a separate keyring and provide a list for those people. |
Welcome to the Ubuntu Maryland Team's Wiki page.
A Gathering
We now have a place and time for the first in person meeting of the Maryland Ubuntu LOCO group!

The Basics
Currently we are getting things together and organized.
As of now, we have the following things ready:
1. [http://www.ubuntu-maryland.org] redirects to this page.
2. #ubuntu-maryland is registered for an IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
3. A mailing list has been requested.
4. A forum on [http://maryland.ubuntuforums.org ubuntuforums.org] has been started.
5. A team contact has been named in the form of myself, [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChuckFrain Chuck Frain].
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChuckFrain contact me]. I will be doing more with this page, but want to get the basics out there for people in Maryland to be aware that we are working to build a team here.
