The Florida Team held their regular team meeting on April 7. Topics of discussion included a new Linked-In group for LoCo members, and upcoming release parties.
Nebraska Team
Dave Thacker presented "Ubuntu Stuff" to the Omaha Linux User Group on April 7.
North Carolina Team
The North Carolina team continues planning for upcoming release parties. A previous meeting was held on April 7, and a follow up is scheduled for April 15, 7:30-8:30pm Eastern, in #ubuntu-us-nc. For all those who are in NC or those who can offer advice on implementation please plan on attending. We need every voice. It can only be successfully when we all come together as a Team, so let's go team. Looking forwarding to seeing how many release parties we can get off the ground. Join us next week and let's plan on how to introduce and celebrate the arrival of Jaunty Jackalope in North Carolina.

Expanding the Forum Council
With the rapid growth of the community, the Forum Council (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ForumCouncil) has now seven members, after two long time Forums Staff members have been voted in by the Community Council: bodhi.zazen (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=89054) and bapoumba (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=171805). They are now part of the Forums Administrators.
Being part of the Forum Council is a two years term position that can be renewed.
New Staff in Town
This week has also seen several changes to the Forums Staff Team. Four new moderators have accepted to join: cariboo907 (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=77104), forestpixie (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=610428), Michael.Godawski (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=541281) and tinivole (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=490875) who have all demonstrated constant kind and positive inputs on the forums.
Adding moderators is discussed after a Forum Council member opens a discussion in the Staff area. Every Staff is welcome to suggest members. The Forum Council then sends invitations based on the discussions.
