Agenda

• The New Mexico Ubuntu LoCo now has accounts on Twitter and identi.ca account names on the Ubuntu wiki microblogging list. Want to be a micoblogger for the group? Contact David Thomas dthomas@ubuntu.com for account details.

• Adding notifications for the EPC Mesh Network, we could create an account say on gmail and add it to the LoCo mailing list.

• Mark your calendar for the kick-off Ubuntu LoCo Team Meeting on Sat 28th Feb 6pm, 1800 UTC.

• Proposal by the two currently listed LoCo "contacts" (Mike and Dave) for the formation of the NM LoCo council, to assume the role of decision-making and leadership for the LoCo, as a team. Nominations for the council:

  • tritium
  • dthomasdigital
  • protonchris
  • gcleric
  • jimrz

• If the above council is formed, the Debian Voting System may be considered

• mneptok has generously offered to provide webhosting for the LoCo at birdhouse

  • Pros: No more waiting for Canonical sysadmins to process hosting request, likely quicker response time, release of customized Drupal as LoCo hosting platform makes setup far easier ( http://www.fabianrodriguez.com/blog/2009/02/13/drupal-5x-and-6x-loco-suite-released/ ), cPanel access allows greater self-sufficiency

  • Cons: Not part of Canonical's hosting infrastructure

• Just a note about more ubuntu and Drupal https://launchpad.net/loco-drupal

• tritium would like to nominate Doomcat the official Scratch and game developer of the NM LoCo

• vote on changing the default ubuntu-us-nm mailing list behavior so that the default reply-to is the list not a posters email address.

  • Argument against: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

  • Argument for: http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.mhtml

• Global Bug Jam This weekend

Moved to next weeks agenda

• Mark your calendar for the kick-off Ubuntu LoCo Team Meeting on Sat 28th Feb 6pm, 1800 UTC.

Anyone that can make it will try and be there

• Proposal by the two currently listed LoCo "contacts" (Mike and Dave) for the formation of the NM LoCo council, to assume the role of decision-making and leadership for the LoCo, as a team. Nominations for the council:

  • tritium
  • dthomasdigital
  • protonchris
  • gcleric
  • jimrz

A vote was put forth to start a New Mexico governing council. All that where nominated where voted in. This council will help with the guidance and direction of the New Mexico LoCo as well as deal with any offical business or outside organizations.

• If the above council is formed, the Debian Voting System may be considered

All council members should make themselves familiar with the Debian Voting System

• mneptok has generously offered to provide webhosting for the LoCo at birdhouse

  • Pros: No more waiting for Canonical sysadmins to process hosting request, likely quicker response time, release of customized Drupal as LoCo hosting platform makes setup far easier ( http://www.fabianrodriguez.com/blog/2009/02/13/drupal-5x-and-6x-loco-suite-released/ ), cPanel access allows greater self-sufficiency

  • Cons: Not part of Canonical's hosting infrastructure

We have decided to take mneptok up on his request and will be using birdhouse as our website host. Protonchris will be the official contact.

• Just a note about more ubuntu and Drupal https://launchpad.net/loco-drupal

Some info on Drupal was discussed.

• tritium would like to nominate Doomcat the official Scratch and game developer of the NM LoCo

Doomcat is now the official game developer for the New Mexico LoCo. He is working on a Demo animation in scratch.

• vote on changing the default ubuntu-us-nm mailing list behavior so that the default reply-to is the list not a posters email address.

  • Argument against: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

  • Argument for: http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.mhtml

We voted to change the reply-to to go to the mailing list and no the person sending the mail

• Global Bug Jam This weekend

Just an info item to make people in the meeting aware the global Bug Jam is going on this weekend.

• Another project in the making.

genfool brought another project to our attention, he and gcleric will be the main contact and we will have more information next week.
