Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] 18.04 Release Party

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Looks like they add 15% so might need to bump it up slightly but I guess we
have some
time.

Lets see about feedback or maybe other ideas? Let it simmer for a few days
and then
we can nail things down and submit a request?

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] 18.04 Release Party

[Benjamin Kerensa]

In the past my experience has been install parties are not very successful
up here
so i might suggest just hanging out discussing new features in the release
and
having a good community building opportunity.

So what say we $100 weekend rental of the guest room?
https://luckylab.com/hawthorne-brew-pub/

and a few of these platters  plus say $75 for non-alcoholic drink tab at
the bar?

So like $339.85 (First three platters with hummus upgrade because its
Portland) and $75 drinks
and $100 for rental. Maybe ask for $545 total to allow for flexibility on
drinks, gratuity and any
change in prices etc.

?

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] 18.04 Release Party

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Sorry about that! So with release date on April 26th it might make sense to
do the 28th and my
guess is since we have not done events in Portland for some years turnout
might be light but
perhaps around 15-20 people.

If we wanted we could meet at the Lucky Labrador on Hawthorne it is a large
space and very
tech friendly. If this sounded reasonable we could try to identify how many
guests we planned to
have and seek funds to accommodate food and drinks for slightly over target.

I'm sure some of the current and former Canonical employees and Debian Devs
will come out for
it.

Thoughts?

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] 18.04 Release Party

[Benjamin Kerensa]

I guess we should figure out a venue first and then put up an rsvp to gauge
how many would turnout then we’d have a idea for food and beverage and
maybe some swag. Let me reach out about a venue now.

What date are we thinking? What would work best for folks?

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] let's do events!

[Benjamin Kerensa]

I’m thinking it might be too late now as I look at events already in
planned for OSCON it seems most have speakers booked and their events
planned out.

If we wanted to do one later in the year we could be more successful but
we’d need a dedicated team of volunteers that can take time off from school
or work and be available the days before and during an UbuCon plus months
before spending a lot of time planning out speakers and venue.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] let's do events!

[Benjamin Kerensa]

For both yes but the UbuCon will take a lot of work and we’d need
significant funding for sound gear, food, etc.

If we do an UbuCon we might want to plan it the weekend before OSCON next
year so people can attend.

Let’s setup a meeting to brainstorm and identify needs and costs and we can
pitch to Canonical.

 Hi Oregubuntarians!
 (did I spell that correctly?)

 LibreOffice is returning to OSCON this week, and we're looking for
a
 few more awesome people to help staff our booth.

 WHEN:

 Tuesday, July 21
 5:00PM - 6:00PM (Reception)

 Wednesday, July 22
 10:00AM - 4:30PM
 5:40PM - 7:00PM (Booth Crawl)

 Thursday, July 23
 10:00AM - 5:00PM

 SKILLS:
 Experience with LibreOffice and other FOSS products like Ubuntu is
a
 plus, but a helpful and positive attitude is much more important.

 In addition to talking about LibreOffice, we'll be showing-off our
 printed user manuals, demoing LibreOffice to interested users, and
 handing out stickers.

 Did you know that LibreOffice runs on Android? We currently have a
 LibreOffice Viewer, and are currently adding editing capabilities.

 DURATION:
 We're pretty flexible -- it'd be great for people to volunteer 3+
 hours over the 3 days that the expo hall is open.

 PERKS:
 As a member of the booth team you'll get an Official LibreOffice
T-shirt.

 CONCLUSION:
 If hanging out at a booth and telling everyone about the latest
news
 about LibreOffice and Free Software sounds like your idea of a good
 time, then please ping me back and I'll make sure to get you set up
 with a pass, etc. We'd love to have you on board!

 Best,

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Release party?

Yeah if Walter just wants to shoot me a date a month early I can setup our
office booking
and some pizzas and some Firefox swag ;) and Walter can order some Ubuntu
swag.

Maybe he can even arrange for a rental to drive folks up?

 Sounds to me like some of our key members, who have been great
 contributors (U know who UR) are going to be at LFNW, AND due to the short
 time frame we'd be facing, not to mention, Canonical requiring several
 months notice to approve funding.  That said; looks like we'll have to wait
 until October to hold a release party, as suggested by Benjamin.

 As for location - I'm all for holding it in Salem, however I would ALSO
 like to hold it at Mozilla, because I'm a big fan of FF.  That is if we can
 plan our event (which maybe sometime during first or second week of
 October) around Benjamin's schedule.  Plus it'll be great to see those
 members, who otherwise would have been at LFNW.   AND of course we have
 more time to do as Walter suggested; we can ABSOLUTELY get a jam pack
 full of goodies. ;-)  Very nice - much thanks Walter.

 I'll be at tomorrow's Salem Ubuntu held at Broadway commons, while there,
 Cody and I can check on conference room pricing for October, just in case
 we can't get Mozilla.  Even though I'm for going to Mozilla or bust... LOL.

 Thanks all, for supporting a truly great OS.

 Ciao for now

 Alright, Phil, James (jvlb) and I were discussing this which

rooms would be viable, but I'd only do this IF nobody else was doing a
release party elsewhere, don't want to have too many things going on at
once. There's a set of meeting rooms that COULD do perfectly, the venue has
decent wifi (albeit unprotected, which is something I am not too keen on),
I'd probably have to see about the food and drink. and the venue is
something that has to be booked beforehand and isn't free. So, I guess
we'll see what Walter says, I'll see if I can ping him tonight or tomorrow.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Release party?

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Mozilla can also very likely host in Portland but I would need to know
sooner than later to book. We have WiFi, AV, beverages and snacks.

  The community and its projects need a lot of different forms of help:

  Great entry point, this is where I started, I am now a developer.
 
  I started by asking a question on #lubuntu and the folks there were so
  inviting and helpful I stuck around and started helping others. And
  now I'm the Release Manager!
 
  I am here to help as well, if anyone has any questions! It is well
 worth it!
 
  Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Kubuntu have its own
  membership board/process?

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] team blog

[Benjamin Kerensa]

On Wed, Nov 19, 2014 at 8:24 AM, Walter Lapchynski w...@ubuntu.com wrote:

 So I was thinking it would be nice to have a blog. Integrating that
 into our website is probably a good idea, but regardless, being
 included in the Planet Ubuntu¹ feed (and maybe in the LoCo Portal²
 feed) would be a good way to get the word out on what we're doing.
 Currently, no one really casually runs into us and I think that would
 be a good thing to try to have.


Planet Ubuntu is only for individual blogs or project blogs they
do not do LoCo's AFAIK but LoCo.ubuntu.com does ofc

IIRC correctly most of our traffic came from search or Ubuntu Forums
LoCo.ubuntu.com sent very little traffic.



 I should point out that until I was aware that the team needed a
 leader that I didn't even know what LoCos were, let alone that there
 was an Oregon team, despite being a contributor for many years. I'm
 probably not the only one.


Shucks that's a shame as at one point we were one of the most active in
North America but before the Oregon Team existed there was also the PNW
LoCo which was Washington and Oregon combined but the Governance disbanded
it and forced LoCo's to choose states. As a result both Washington and
Oregon become pretty inactive.

Then Dan and Thomas both gave it a go and ran the LoCo for sometime but Dan
left for the Army and Thomas I think did not have enough time? Time always
seems to be the thing.





 That being said, I've looked into the notion of aggregating our posts
 via something like Yahoo Pipes, but I discover now that on Planet
 Ubuntu this means it will link to the Pipes feed and can't be
 redefined to point at some other site.

 So I'm kind of leaning towards the idea that we actually have a blog
 blog with various authors who can contribute to it. I guess we get a
 Drupal website with the Canonical hosting³. Any Drupal lovers out
 there can confirm that we can get a well-formed RSS feed out of it? I
 know enough about Drupal to know that we can have a bloggish kind of
 thing.


I believe Canonical by default uses WordPress for LoCo's but I would also
encourage you guys to find a sponsor and self-host it might save you
headaches when it comes to upgrades, waiting on things etc.

Most LoCo's get hosting on their own because it is easier.


 Anyone excited about blogging?

[Ubuntu Oregon] Fwd: wxl23 approved by bkerensa

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hello Ubuntu Oregon Team,

Sometime ago I announced my plan to step down from Ubuntu Oregon as
the team contact and lead and did a call for help. Nobody initially
answered that or subsequent calls although today Walter Lapchynski of
Eugene, OR has volunteered to fill the team contact role.

I hope you all will support him in this new role and that he can
reinvigorate the community here in Oregon.


Cheers,


Benjamin Kerensa

[Ubuntu Oregon] OSCON 2013 - Volunteers needed

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hello All,

This year Ubuntu Oregon will yet again have a booth at OSCON although
this year Canonical has decided to sponsor the costs of our booth.
Things this year will likely go a little differently than in the past
but mostly for having a better booth experience.

Ideally we will need between 3-5 volunteers who would like to come to
OSCON and help man the booth from Tuesday July 23rd at 5pm for about
two hours and then daily for the rest of the week from morning till
expo hall close.

We hope to have some Ubuntu Touch phones or tablets this year which
Canonical would be securing and also possibly a much nicer booth
overall since Canonical is helping out with those logistics.

If you are interested please fill out this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fy5xOIHQm95yXK6NsAuoxBZz-SdFH8OADxvk5vo_HcI/viewform

[Ubuntu Oregon] Open Source Bridge Pass Raffle

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Like last year Open Source Bridge is offering all PDX User Groups a
free pass since we don't have a event coming up locally before the
event I guess we can go ahead and raffle it here. So if you are
definitely able to attend the event (June 18-21) and want in the
raffle just reply to the mailing list (any message will do) and on the
24th I will have Mark Terranova use random.org to pick a winner.



What is Open Source Bridge? (http://opensourcebridge.org/)

Open Source Bridge is a conference for developers working with open
source technologies and for people interested in learning the open
source way.

Open Source Bridge is not a typical technical conference:

It’s entirely volunteer-run, by developers, for developers.
Session tracks are technology agnostic; the conference content is
based around shared community experiences and similarities between
projects, not differences.
Proposals are public from the start, and we welcome community
comments before our content team selects the featured talks.
A hacker lounge is an integral part of the conference for code
sprints, bug bashes, session deep dives, bouncing ideas, starting new
projects or just mingling with other geeks.

As developers, we find ourselves in many roles; we are users,
creators, and leaders. The Open Source Bridge team believes that our
role as open source citizens informs our work whether we are conscious
of it or not. Open Source Bridge is intended as a call to action to
become better citizens, by sharing our knowledge with each other.

[Ubuntu Oregon] Global Jam Announcement! ---- Read

[Benjamin Kerensa]

(Apparently, I mistakenly sent this to a different mailing list a week
ago and so nobody informed me darn autocomplete)

Hello Oregonians!

We will be having a Ubuntu Global Jam on March 3rd at FreeGeek* from
1pm to 5:00pm. Our Global Jam will focus on Bug Work which seems to be
a continuing and popular theme for our jams. If you are unfamiliar
with bug work I encourage you to please check out the wikis at the
bottom of this announcement. This event will not have food sponsors
this year due to the limited time I had to put this together however
if you would like you are more than welcome to bring a food or
beverage item to share with others potluck style.

I will be acting as a tutor to help though who are new to bug work in
order to allow our more experienced loco members to get the most
contributions in.

*Please note although we are planning for FreeGeek this is contingent
on me completing my key training next week and if for any reason that
training cannot occur then the location may be moved to an alternate
site*


Event RSVP (Please RSVP since space will be limited to about 15-20 people):

 Hello Oregonians!

 We will be having a Ubuntu Global Jam on March 3rd at FreeGeek* from
 1pm to 5:00pm. Our Global Jam will focus on Bug Work which seems to be
 a continuing and popular theme for our jams. If you are unfamiliar
 with bug work I encourage you to please check out the wikis at the
 bottom of this announcement. This event will not have food sponsors
 this year due to the limited time I had to put this together however
 if you would like you are more than welcome to bring a food or
 beverage item to share with others potluck style.

 I will be acting as a tutor to help though who are new to bug work in
 order to allow our more experienced loco members to get the most
 contributions in.

 *Please note although we are planning for FreeGeek this is contingent
 on me completing my key training next week and if for any reason that
 training cannot occur then the location may be moved to an alternate
 site*


 Event RSVP (Please RSVP since space will be limited to about 15-20
 people):

very limited time to offer the LoCo. So, I have decided to step down from
the position of LoCo team contact after the release of Ubuntu 13.04
(End of year or sooner).

I'm asking that anyone interested in taking up the Team Contact role
please reply
to the mailing list and get in touch.

LoCo Contact's duties:
* Organize State-wide Events
* Advocate for the use of Ubuntu and Free and Open Source Software
* Coordinate Semi-Annual Release Party's
* Coordinate Website
* Mediate Team Conflicts
* Manage LoCo Team Library
* Manage LoCo Table Cover  2 LoCo Banners
* Distribute Ubuntu DVD's (Usually at your cost)
* Find Venues and Sponsors for Events
* Team Reports
* Team Meetings (As necessary)



Thank you all for your wonderful work.

Best Wishes,

[Ubuntu Oregon] ApacheCon 2013

[Benjamin Kerensa]

ApacheCon (http://na.apachecon.com/) is coming up here in Portland
February 26th - 28th. To honor our city and its programmers, the
conference organizers have made a special discount rate for us. Anyone
registering with promo code PDXGROUPS will receive a 25% discount on
tutorials. Some of the awesome half-day tutorials available are:

* Apache httpd Basics
* Crash Course on Web Services Security
* A Beginner's Guide to Apache CouchDB
* Getting Started with Apache Flex
* Working with Apache Cocoon

And there are many more. This is a great opportunity to increase your
skills + knowledge about server-side development with Apache. Since
it's in Portland, it's also a really great deal for us Portlanders who
don't have to pay for a hotel.

If you can't make the conference, there are also some free and open
events happening:

* Barcamp on 2/24
* Apache Hackathon on 2/25

You don't need to register for the conference to take part in those -
Portland community members are welcome to come along, meet Apache
project members and try to find points of common interest. (If
software fails one might try beer).

Feel free to pass on the 25% discount rate to any other Portland locals!

 Hi Lance,

How are you? I know this email is a bit random -- you and I met at a
Corvallis Beer and Blog from long while ago. At the time, I was working at
OSU, but have since taken a job with the Corvallis-Benton County Public
Library http://www.cbcpl.net/. The CBCPL looking to improve our library
catalog http://library.ci.corvallis.or.us/newcatalog/ via an open source
project, and I thought of you and the OSU OSL as an organization that might
be able to help (or at least point us in the direction of some folks who
might be interested in helping us).

We're a mid-sized library, and we have a lot of support from the community,
serving over 85,000 people in Benton County. We have branch libraries in
Monroe, Alsea and Philomath. We are forward-thinking, want to do big things
and are big fans of open source.

As I mentioned, we're looking to improve our library catalog. A few of my
colleagues (Charles Dunham and Andrew Cherbas) have been researching an
open source layer called VuFind http://vufind.org/about.php. It's the
difference between a really plain looking
cataloghttp://library.ci.corvallis.or.us:8083/#section=resourceresourceid=4923742currentIndex=0and
one that is more
interactivehttp://catalog.douglascountylibraries.org/Record/862902/Home?searchId=13702291recordIndex=5page=1,
like Douglas County Library http://douglascountylibraries.org/'s catalog.
http://vufind.org/wiki/installation_status

More importantly, it has the capacity to
http://vufind.org/wiki/installation_statusunify collections from
different sources. Our method of including ebooks in our current library
catalog is a hack; It’s rarely up-to-date and one has to click through to a
separate website to check availability and so forth. Our ebook vendor will
be releasing an API soon, which would enable us to integrate their ebooks
in to a VuFind catalog. As we add new digital collections in the future, we
would hope to integrate them as well.

We’ve looked into this in a very preliminary way so far, but it seems that
getting this to work would require:

   - Writing an ILS driver http://vufind.org/wiki/building_an_ils_driverin
   PHP for VuFind, so it can communicate with our Integrated Library System.
   Our ILS is called TLC. Though many libraries have implemented
VuFindhttp://vufind.org/wiki/installation_status,
   no one has yet created a driver for TLC.
   - Customizing the VuFind interface to meet our needs, and branding it
   for the Library.
   - Integrating our
Library2Gohttp://library2go.lib.overdrive.com/0482A927-9C05-4885-80C2-5057619AA549/10/438/en/Default.htmebook
collection in to VuFind using an API.
   

I read about the OSL's mission and Public Sector Program and was wondering
if any of your students (or anyone else, for that matter) would be
interested in possibly helping us create code to implement VuFind as our
library catalog? Once installed, we would support and update VuFund
ourselves; we just lack the expertise for an initial implementation.

This would be a wonderful service for the greater Corvallis community with
a long-lasting, positive effect. Do you have any thoughts on where we might
find the expertise to make this happen? Unfortunately, we have very limited
budget, but we’re hoping we can find someone who would like to do this for
fun or to gain experience.

Thanks for your time and any advice you can share. We really hope we can
find someone to help us!
Sincerely,
Lindy (and Charles)

[Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu Oregon Laptop Stickers

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hello All,

I wanted to let you know we now have some very high quality Ubuntu Oregon
laptop stickers that use the wonderful new logo designed by James Bradley.
I will hopefully be dropping some of these off in Salem with Nathan in the
coming weeks but you can also e-mail me directly and I will provide a
mailing address that you can send a SASE to and I will send you out two
laptop stickers.

Additionally I hope to get some of these out to PSU and FreeGeek!

[Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu Tablecloth, Banner and a Special Birthday!

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that we have received our approved team
gift from Canonical which is a tablecloth and banner with the official
Ubuntu branding.

We will continue to of course use our localized banner and at some point
might seek to have the other banner in Salem or another region where our
LoCo is active so they can hold some events.

I also wan't to remind everyone that our upstream friends (Debian) will be
celebrating its 19th Birthday tomorrow! The Debian Social Folks are
planning a Debian Gathering next week on August 22nd at 6:30pm at Lucky Lab
to celebrate the occasion!

  However, I'm not finding any information about this year's Intel Ivy

  Can anyone point me to reliable information or personal experience with

  As a follow-up I've successfully installed and am running 12.04 natively

 Hi all,

 I just got some budget funds from work that I need to spend this
 quarter, and I'd like to get an ultrabook. Thing is, I'm not finding any
 ultrabooks that meet my needs (13, high resolution screen, 8 GB RAM,
 comfortable keyboard) and am beginning to contemplate buying a MacBook
 Air and running Linux natively on it (i.e, wipe OS X completely from it).

 I've found this help.ubuntu.com page which suggests that 12.04 works
 well on last year's MB Air:

 https://help.ubuntu.com/**community/MacBookAir4-2https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir4-2

 However, I'm not finding any information about this year's Intel Ivy
 Bridge version of the laptop.

 Can anyone point me to reliable information or personal experience with
 this?


 As a follow-up I've successfully installed and am running 12.04 natively
 on the MBA. I've written up the process in the Apple Users subforum of
 Ubuntu Forums:

 http://ubuntuforums.org/**showthread.php?t=2039799http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2039799

 There's a fair bit to do post-install, but it pretty straightforward and
 is mostly the same as what you'd do on the 2011 MBA.

[Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu Oregon at OSCON Expo Hall

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hello Everyone,

We have our booth setup at the Expo Hall at OSCON right next to MariaDB 
and PostgreSQL and the opening night was a great success with over 100 
CD's gone in the first hour and hundreds of Firefox Stickers and 
Buttons. Notably we met with some people from the Washington DC LoCo and 
users from all over the world and additionally met some local Oregonians 
who use Ubuntu but who had not heard of Ubuntu Oregon.


If you have not registered yet please visit http://oscon.com and use 
FREEORG or FREEPROJ to get a Expo Hall pass and visit the booth 
today or tomorrow and if you want to come to my talk Friday let me know 
and I can get you an extended gold pass to drop in.

[Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu Hour next Friday!

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hello Everyone,

So since we have Ubuntu Community members and Canonical employees coming 
from out of state I figured it might be a good opportunity next Friday 
to have a Ubuntu Hour. I know Jono Bacon and Jorge Castro will be in for 
OSCON and Elizabeth Krumbach from the Community Council and Phillip 
Ballew from Ubuntu Youth.


So maybe Friday evening we could grab a drink or bite to eat somewhere 
near the convention center...?

[Ubuntu Oregon] Flyers for OSCON

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hello Folks,

I'm wondering if anyone would like to chip in to the cost of full color 
trifold printing for OSCON? I plan to have a printer selected and paid by
next friday and so far the costs are not very pretty but if someone or 
multiple people would like to chip in thats great (they do this in 
California)
also if you know a local shop that might give us a good deal that would 
be great too!

Here's the latest iteration on the flyer project. At this point, unless

Please take a moment to review the publication; Scribus doesn't have a
spell or grammar checker so be on the lookout for typos or things that
don't read right. Any feedback is welcome.

'remain committed to educating others' makes it sound like something
happened and commitment wavered which I don't think is the case.  I'd
just go with 'are committed'.

'millions and millions' of people seems strange to me too.  I think
millions gets the point across.

The mention of Debian will be confusing for people just reading about
Ubuntu for the first time.

I believe page one capitalize Open Source and page two does not.

There is a period after 'creative pursuits.' but the sentence carries
on. much like this one.

'hundreds of dollars just try something new' might be missing a 'to'.

I might stick the contact information on both sides as I personally
missed the url in the beginning and then at the end was wondering how
to contact the team.

Thanks it looks pretty neat!

Good points, Brian.

The remain isn't mine; it's from existing materials. Ben, since 
you're calling the shots, what do you think? If the point is to 
underscore the commitment, perhaps the term stand committed would 
serve better?

Sounds nice.


I struggled with the millions and millions myself, but just 
millions seems too much an understatement, (and Carl Sagan said, 
billions and billions and billions). How about many millions, 
(which might be construed as a overstatement, but what the heck)?

Many millions or untold millions?


I believe the proper name of the event does include Debian. 
Personally, I feel giving Debian some credit is a good move 
politically. The front of the flyer does try to address a more 
informed reader, while the back is more for the newcomer. But what is 
the consensus?
I concur on giving credit while at the same time wonder if Debian names 
off all upstream projects it benefits from? Do we potentially confuse 
some or give credit where credit is due? Or perhaps I can make better 
credit on the site and that could be sufficient since our hope is that 
the reader will eventually visit the website and signup for our mailing 
list etc. I wonder if slangasek has any feedback on this one.


Open Source on page two, now.

Preposition, to, added to specified sentence.

Duplicated URL at end of ~ for Home section.

Thanks, again, Brian.

Today is the anticipated date for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I would like to
thank everyone in the Ubuntu Oregon LoCo who has contributed to not only
our LoCo during this cycle but also any work you may have done for the
greater community and for this release.

Ubuntu Release Manager Kate Stewart is responsible for announcing the
release and such announcements are usually available on the Ubuntu Devel
Announce list here:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2012-April/thread.html


Additionally you may be interested in joining #ubuntu-release-party
starting today and through the weekend to celebrate the imminent release
with many Ubuntu users around the world.

Thanks again for all of your contributions to Ubuntu and the Ubuntu
Oregon LoCo and I look very much forward to seeing each and everyone of
you at our release party this Sunday.

Special Thanks to PuppetLabs for their Sponsorship of this event!

Depending on the quantity we buy potentially since the Canonical store's 
best pricing is based on a purchase of 200 CD's which is

$210.90 without Shipping.

Even at a local printer we would be dealing with volume based pricing... 
200 CD's could go in a single event large event although
we could in most cases apply for a non-approved team conference kit for

It actually would appear Canonical waives shipping price on CD's which 
is actually pretty nice... But we are still talking $200+ for 200 CD's
I can get spindles of 100 CD's for like $15-20 and I'm not sure what 
labels would cost... The biggest thing I am concerned about is burning 
out by CD/DVD drive on my laptop.

Sorry for the super late announcement of this. spring term just started
and I've been flooded with work.

Anywho, there IS an Salem Ubuntu Hour. event details are here:
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-or/1669/detail/

although it's not a requirement, I recommend that whomever is planning
on coming register, even if you are only possibly coming. this is so
documentation of this on bkerensa's part is a bit easier.







I will try and make a trip out to Salem for the Ubuntu Hour you guys 
hold sometime in May when I get back from UDS.

State of the Wiki

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hello Everyone,

It is time for some change when it comes to our Wiki I really do not 
feel our Wiki can be neglected anymore and I'm hoping someone with some 
Moin skills might be interested in cleaning it up a bit and 
re-organizing information.


I'm hoping we can use California's Wiki as a example by which to build 
off of:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam

Things I would like to see:
*Integrate JVLB's new logo into the design
*Clean up the Header Menu
*Tidy Up pages
*Move roster to its own page


and best of all make a complete backup of our current layout in a 
/Backups branch of the Wiki site.


Is anyone up to the task?

I imagine getting the Wiki in a better state will take about a hour or 
two of your personal time if you got the knack for it.

Ubuntu Oregon Banner

[Benjamin Kerensa]

I would like first and foremost to thank Brian Hellman CTO Americas for 
Linbit for taking a active interest in Ubuntu Oregon and thank his 
company for sponsoring our banner.


As you know James Bradley a member of the LoCo who lives in the 
Salem-area has been working on a banner design which has finally reached
a production quality and I submitted to a local Portland Company for 
printing.


Thanks again Brian and James! Hope to have this banner fresh off the 
press for our release party at PuppetLabs next month!

FYI, that was myself (David Duncan) and co-host Jim Allen from
nwtechshow.com that visited Salem Ubuntu Hour recently.

Due to the ambient noise didn't record an interview, just was getting
to know a few of the guys better. Unfortunately since then the KMUZ
tech committee decided to also meet at 6pm on Fridays, but I would
like to get back and record some interviews at some point.

Don't know when the committee gets out tonight, but next week I'll hit
the Ubuntu Hour meet at 530pm, anyone up for coming out a bit early to
chat?

Also wanted to let you know that NW Tech Show is organizing a field
trip on March 31st to Portland's next Barcamp:
http://barcampportland.org/

We're hoping to start a virtual makerspace / mutual awareness amongst
the tech-minded of Salem so that we can have events like this of our
own, and this trip seemed like a good start. Let me know if interested
in participating!

My twitter and facebook links are listed at nwtechshow.com, or tweet
your interest with hashtag #salemgoestobarcamp

OK to forward this info to the Ubuntu group mailing list, just remove
my personal email address. Thanks!

* Soda
* Water Bottles
* Veggie Tray

If you have not RSVP'ed please consider doing so
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-us-or/1553/detail/ this is

those who lack development experience may walk away with some
new abilities and this may further their contributions to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Global Jam Food Beverage

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hello Everyone,

So I have not heard anything back yet for requests for sponsorship for 
Food and Beverage and as such I would like to call for offers from 
members to bring some of the stuff we will be eating and drinking. I 
have made a Google Docs Spreadsheet as such please list your name and a 
food or drink item you would like to bring and I guess I will be the 
first to list what I'm bringing.


https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtgrtpbXJZ2zdDViejB1bmtmVFRSR2tkb3lYZGp3Vnc

Some ideas for things to bring:
* Soft Drinks (Diet or Regular)
* Chips  Dip
* Veggie Tray
* Cookies
* Cheese/Meat/Crackers

:) If you cannot bring something please do not fret... We will make it 
happen one way or another :)

FYI: Community Leadership Summit

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Community Leadership Summit will be from July 14th - 15th (All Day both 
days)

http://www.communityleadershipsummit.com/

It is a free event and is led by Jono Bacon (Ubuntu Community Manager) 
and O'Reilly Media and I must just say it is a good event if you are 
interested in learning about leading a community or developing community 
related skills. This event is also the weekend before OSCON so you will 
get a chance to meet many of the speakers of OSCON since they often go 
to CLS.


I will be attending and I think Nathwill will also and I hope to see 
some more LoCo folks show :)

[ubuntu-us] OpenStack Conference Info for Ubuntu MA Team

[Benjamin Kerensa]

  
  
Hi Ubuntu MA Team,

OpenStack/Rackspace will be holding a conference in October:
http://www.openstack.org/blog/2011/09/openstack-conference-registration-are-you-coming

OpenStack's Community Manager is very friendly to the Ubuntu
Community and in fact sponsored some t-shirts for our Global Jam. I
think it would be very likely that he would be able to make it
possible for some Ubuntu MA people to be there and I know Canonical
has a handful of people going.

Their Community Manager's name is Stephen Spector and his e-mail is
Stephen.Spector (at) OpenStack (dot) org

Best of Luck!
