Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Release party?
My only reason for saying to not do dueling events is so we aren't doing an event in salem that only 10 people show up to because everyone already went to (or plans to go) to the PDX version. I'll plan to attend a 16.04 event in either portland or salem. I think a poll is a good idea, but don't make it a "Would you rather go to an Ubuntu event in portland or salem" (because obviously more people would rather go to the closer event). I'd rather ask "Would you go to a 16.04 release party in salem if there wasn't a release party in PDX". We did an event at free geek for the 7.10 release I think (it was our first event). I've not been back since, so IDK if they have improved their venue but IIRC there was no setup for talks (projector).

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Release party?
I'm for a Salem event, provided that it's not the same event that is being thrown in Portland. (eg. if 15.10 release party is in portland, lets not also have a salem 15.10 release party). The Broadway commons is a nice venue, perhaps just because it's new, but also has a decent amount of parking (much better than downtown portland). I'd say lets throw a 16.04 party there, but I have a feeling the PDX crowd will try to throw one as well since it's an LTS release. In any case, I'll throw in ~$100 for the venue and some pizza (although we'll definitely need more pizza money). I do have a few questions about the broadway commons venue. 1) Are we charged for the coffee shuttles per number of people that attend, or by the room size? Lets say we get a room with seating for 60 people but only 40 people attend. What is the charge? 2) Are the coffee shuttles limited to coffee? I don't drink caffine, so if we could get a couple hot chocolate shuttles (or juice) that would be great (even if there is extra cost).

I'll answer you here. The Ubuntu Hour in Salem is not a Ubuntu Oregon team meeting, it is a Community Outreach event. Thus, you are correct in that it will not be moving location, date, nor time (unless the people running that event deem it necessary to move for the community and/or Broadway coffee house says we can no longer use the location). As for regular team meetings, while those haven't been scheduled in a long time (probably due to a single person doing most of the work), traditionally those were held on IRC in the team chat room. I don't recall when the last release party was (13.10?), but IIRC we had good turn out for all of them. Not sure if Ben kept numbers, but he was always working hard to get pizza and shirt sponsors, talks, and a venue (puppet labs in Portland) for the release parties.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Gauge use of a Mumble server for the LoCo
We have a server somewhere, I'm not sure if it ever got installed in a DC though.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu Oregon Flyer Feedback
I apologize, I didn't realize this was a mockup, and didn't look close enough at that text. Probably would have helped if I had read Ben's email as well. He pinged me in the IRC chat room but didn't tell me we're looking to add text, so I didn't read his email. /embarrassed Thanks, Thomas Mashos On Mon, Jun 25, 2012 at 4:09 PM, James Bradley wrote: > This is a mock-up, Thomas.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu Oregon Flyer Feedback
I've reviewed the flyer, and here are my notes. * No contact information. We're handing people flyers, they go home and then what. We expect them to Google us? Lets get a web address and maybe an email of the team lead on there as well. * There is no english text under School and Home (presumably on the back) * I question the need for non-english text. Further, the non-english text is only on the back and although I cannot read it, presumably the entire text isn't translated. If a need for an alternate language flyer is needed, perhaps there should be a second flyer.
