[Ubuntu-US-CA] Proposed amendment to the Ubuntu California leadership document.

2017-02-15 Thread Nathan Haines

Hello everyone,

In our first meeting of the year, we came together in IRC to decide what 
to do about flagging participation and the failure to attract enough 
volunteers to lead the Ubuntu California team on a 3-person leadership 
council.


It was the consensus that between the limited role of leadership and 
dropping levels of active participation that a leadership council, put 
in place by the Ubuntu LoCo Council several years ago, was 
overengineered, no matter how well-intentioned.  This council is defined 
in the Ubuntu California leadership document, available here:


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NathanHaines/CaliforniaLeadershipDocument

I was given an action item to revise the leadership document to bring it 
in line with a single leader position.  I did this with minimal updates 
to the document, which was not seen as flawed.  The proposed changes can 
be seen here:


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NathanHaines/CaliforniaLeadershipDocument

While I find the wiki's diff between the two documents is less than 
clear, all changes from the current document are documented here:


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NathanHaines/CaliforniaLeadershipDocument?action=diff=2=1

It is my hope that this proposed amendment to the Ubuntu California 
leadership document can be the starting point for a lighter leadership 
role and allow for greater participation in the LoCo and its goal of 
Ubuntu advocacy.

Yep the staff at OHSU are simply the very best at what they do.  Although
I'm not the one being operated on, thanks for wishing me luck.  With any
luck, I'll be back in time to attend the meeting.

[Ubuntu Oregon] Salem Ubuntu Meeting.

2017-02-15 Thread Phil N
Hi everyone,
Just letting you know the Salem Ubuntu Hour is taking place this coming
Friday, Feb 17th.
Salem Ubuntu Hour will take place downstairs in front of the fireplace at
Broadway Coffeehouse, located at 1300 Broadway St NE, in Salem.  The
festivities are from 6:00PM to 7:00PM.  For anyone interested in GNU/Linux
distributions, including our favorite Ubuntu distro, grab a warm drink and
come join us for some tech talk.

Typing of tech talk - Salem had it's first Makerspace kick-off event, which
had over 30 attendees with a wide diversification of skill sets and
interests, including those from the Linux community.  Flyers for Salem
Ubuntu Hour were distributed to those interested.

Sorry I may have to miss this Friday's Ubuntu meeting, as I'll be driving
back to Salem from OHSU about that time.  However, while at OHSU I'm
looking forward to partaking of their most excellent cuisine, and dealing
with their adroit academic professionals.

Should I get back early I'll most defiantly attend, however can't make any
promises at this time.

Have fun! everyone,
Phil. N.
