  2. Gutsy Install Party(s) Locations and Dates. - Tables from last week.

New Business:
  • Regional Teams - discuss and schedule the regional team meetings ET/MT/WT areas.
  • Roadmap - get an idea of what we want to achieve and which projects the group should work on to achieve those goals? There was some discussion about this in the last meeting. It is important to have a general idea where we are going.
  • Recording "Secretary" - we need one person/or multiple people to be at the meetings and take minutes. I know this has been done already but a formal recognition of a group of scribes would be nice.
  • http://www.bornagaintechnologies.org/ is a local company based out of Murfreesboro that takes old computers, rebuilds the ones that are good, loads Ubuntu on them, and sends them to charities, and recently sent a batch to a mission in Africa. They also work on the "free geek" system, and will give you a computer if you put in 24 hours of volunteer time. Perhaps we can do a part by loading Ubuntu on these computers? Contact info is on the website. (RobC4)

  • Official Team logo - saxonjf has created some nice logos to use. We should vote on the official.

Please think about these items, add to them if you have things you want discussed. (tideline)

Apology

I've had internet issues, and am actually posting this from the Nashville Apple Store. I can't tell if it's the ISP, issues with Ubuntu, or both. I hope to read the notes if I am unable to get on, and find some way to benefit the team. saxonjf
