She's since opened membership and approved all pending members as we decided at our last meeting. As a result, our membership has risen >10% in 3 days. We discussed ways to outreach to more Ubuntu users/developers. Broderick commented on the number of new mailing list subscriptions. [[ArcRiley|Arc]] and [[Employeeno5|Broderick]] previously got our mailing list approved and setup, which had more subscribers than LoCo members. An email needs to be sent to our list inviting everyone to join on launchpad. === Contact person === [[ArcRiley|Arc]] nominated [[NikkiHenninger|Nikki]], [[Employeeno5|Broderick]] seconded, consensus was had. === Software Freedom Day === We're co-hosting [[http://softwarefreedomday.org/teams/northamerica/NH/Concord|Software Freedom Day]] in Concord, NH with [[http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/WebHome|GNHLUG]]. We're getting a permit for the park in front of the State House and are working out a location for an Ubuntu workshop that night. We may be able to host this at the [[http://www.concordfoodcoop.coop/|Concord Food Coop]]. We'll have an pre-SFD meeting next month instead of a LoCo monthly meeting next month. === Ubuntu SIG === We talked at length about the proposed GNHLUG Ubuntu SIG. [[NikkiHenninger|Nikki]], Matt H, and [[ArcRiley|Arc]] brought this to the GNHLUG board of directors last month. [[Employeeno5|Broderick]] suggested alternative names and we led into a discussion as to the need for a SIG. We resolved that now that the LoCo isn't limited to only FOSS activists, we can host the proposed SIG functions ourselves and "Desktop workshops" at [[http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/WebHome|GNHLUG]] chapters. Kyle talked about hosting a Linux Audio workshop and could show off [[UbuntuStudio|Ubuntu Studio]]. We closed the meeting and walked back to [[NikkiHenninger|Nikki]]'s for pizza and beer. ---- CategoryNewHampshireTeam
