 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> must be lag, i have, or had, 1900

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> who wave for who's here for the meeting

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> +1

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> this could be a very short mtg

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> [topic] individual advocacy

==  individual advocacy ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> anything crazy to report here

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> okay...

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> I'll contribute if I have anything.

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> LOL @ handheldCar

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> [topic] team advocacy

==  team advocacy ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> It's on the agenda ..

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> but I contacted the fellow who started our Facebook page ...

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> He has not replied whether he will give us an administrator seat on the page ...

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> when was this?

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> couple of weeks ago or more, as I recall

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> got a response to a msg I sent him on FB

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> msg'ed him again to inquire as above and heard nothing yet

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> But first response took nearly two months

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> dang

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> i've sent him email and FB messages

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> guess his PC is slow

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> lol yeah that must be it ;)

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> could be mia

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Kinda wonder if there was some riff early in the Loco as he dropped out after being very involved

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> #2, I am updating the publicity plan to be more specific regarding publicity for individual events

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Hope it to be used as a guide for publicity of Loco events, whatever they may be.

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Will likely be a work in progress for a while, however.

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> [idea] boiler plate templates for various events

||<#FF5555>'' boiler plate templates for various events''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> good idea ... will take that approach

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> #3  Have approached the Charlotte LUG re: the installfest they are planning ...

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> do they have a location?

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Will supply them with Ubuntu Live CDs and will be present whenever the event takes place...

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> no location or date as yet

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> LUG is reforming and there seems to be some struggling to get their feet under themselves again

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Amber will be supplying Live CDs for me to take to event...

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> hum, the lifetime of a LUG...

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Would welcome anyone who might entertain going to Charlotte with me whenever the event takes place ..

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> will provide more info when I know it

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> cool

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> -- end of my team advocacy report --

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> i've found location to be the most difficult part

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> I can understand that

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> [topic] Projects rural outreach, road show

==  Projects rural outreach, road show ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Haven't done much more in terms of rural outreach lately..

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> spent most of my time trying to contact LUGs and developing relationship with them

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> They are key to implementing the outreach plan so indirectly I have been working on that item

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> would y'all like me to e-mail my old classmate and ask if he'd like to start a LUG?

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> sure .. where?

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> pitt/beaufort counties. although I sent an email to the list a few months ago, I never asked in facebook group.

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> the only person on the list was too busy w/ grad school

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> I would be happy to work with anyone wanting to start a LUG ..

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> ok I'll do those two things

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Identifying participants is difficult but doable in most areas

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> jim brady is starting one in Marion

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> he's a fedora guy but makes good coffee

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Hmmm... glad to hear that ... don't think I know him, however

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Put him in contact with me.  Maybe we can work together to assist both of us

 <'''<<Verbatim(olympus)>>'''> coffee is a major food group

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> I added the FB group to one of those advocacy wiki pages you made jcg2

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> OK, thanks ... I guess I missed that, but I appreciate it

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> if Marion wasn't a county seat it would count as rural ;-)

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> LOL, I think it can count as rural regardless ... is there a college or university there?

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> nope

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> would y'all be interested in getting schools to adopt foss as a 2ndary long term project?

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> rural, then

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> absolutely

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> [topic]new items

== new items ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> handheldCar, absolutely

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> there's a 2009 self video about it. brian somebody from va

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> oh no that's virtualbox

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> handheldCar, you have the link for the vid?

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> chad

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> OK, got it

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Will review it and see what we might derive from it ..

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> handheldCar, you have any ideas you want to share?

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> I stress secondary, long-term back-burner stuff b/c it's an involved process that he describes, including going to board meetings.

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> Yep, won't happen overnight that is certain .. but with school budgets being cut now, the timing is right

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> good point handheldCar

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> perhaps we could facilitate sharing...

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> what works to gain access in one county may work in a nother

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> that's very likely true, _marx_

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> we need to record & document the experiences we have initially for use later

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> wiki pages would be a grand place to do that

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> hate to say it but political contacts can help too

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> definitely!

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> Chad mentioned anyone who can give a good sales pitch would be helpful.

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> well that's not me

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> btdt, often

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> me neither

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> I love being put on the spot in front of an audience

 <'''<<Verbatim(handheldCar)>>'''> great!

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> That's been a large part of my career

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> I'm sure there are others who would function in that environment just as well

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> maybe even better

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> [idea] Investigate proposing FOSS to school systems in NC

||<#FF5555>'' Investigate proposing FOSS to school systems in NC''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> LOL .. you and amber

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> never answer a question directly that you can instead provide a URL for

 <'''<<Verbatim(_marx_)>>'''> oh gee, rtfm 2010 eh ;-)

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> LOL

 <'''<<Verbatim(jcg2)>>'''> So are we planning to do anything for UUD?
