Introduction

Proposal: The Tennessee Team is established in order to advocate and educate Linux users for the entire state of Tennessee and to promote Ubuntu Linux and the Ubuntu Community. We will focus on all derivatives of Ubuntu, including Edubuntu. As well as how to gain main stream adoption of Linux.

TODOs

• Once officially recognized, create a domain and webpage: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoHosting. We will try to get tn.ubuntu-us.org.

• Conduct regularly scheduled meetings of our members on our IRC Channel.
• Collaborative Whiteboard ["TennesseeTeam/Whiteboard"]

Goals

• Create one main place where users will be able to gather and share information about the distribution;
• Initiate monthly face to face meetings at a pre-determined facility where users will be able to better interact and receive more support;

• Plan some type of organized activity where we could perform InstallFests and such;

• Advocate, advocate, and advocate! =)
• Create a place for Educators to come together and discuss how Ubuntu can positively impact their schools.
