Objectives
Short Term
Gain a critical mass of members and begin having semi-regular meetings, at least one of which should be of the in-person variety.
Long Term
This group will hopefully serve many purposes, including but not limited to:
- Socializing with other Ubuntu users from the area
- As an interface between members, Ubuntu, local LUGs and therefore Linux at large, and the local community and the people and organizations that entails
- Education, both of our members and of outsiders about what Ubuntu can do for them, and how to use it more effectively
- Advocacy of Ubuntu to the state, and helping get Ubuntu usage more established in homes, schools, non-profits, and businesses
- Localisation, particularly in terms of artwork and themes in any way specific to the culture and region of Minnesota
- Aiding in translation efforts in Rosetta for common second languages besides English in the state, such as Finnish, German, Norwegian, Hmong, Somali, Ojibwe, and Lakota
As a distribution center for ShipIt and burned CDs, for more efficient postage
- As an uplink to coordination with other US teams and around the world
- Any other ideas you wish to add!
Possible activities
- Distribute Ubuntu CDs and literature at the 2008 State Fair
