 * 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
 * Any other ideas you wish to add!
