Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] your help needed!
Just sent an email from work since I'm away from home. If you see an email from pat.ha...@milliman.com, that's me. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S®4. Original message From: James Bradley Date:09/09/2014 10:46 AM (GMT-08:00) To: Ubuntu Oregon LoCo Team Subject: Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] your help needed! For what it is worth, I did most of the LoCo's artwork, including the logo, a brochure, fliers for release parties and Salem and Portland Ubuntu Hours. The stuff is all somewhere on Launchpad, though Ben would have to give you the links. If you need any of the stuff updated or modified, I can probably oblige.

I was doing the announcements and adding it to the LoCo events on the LoCo main page (loco.ubuntu.com), but as of spring term March 31st of this year I had to step down from that, my free time got majorly cut when Spring Term started. > What time?

That's not quite as middle of nowhere as other places in Oregon. Do you ever make it to the Salem meetings? > Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2014 19:17:22 -0700 > From: Cody Smith > Here in Salem, there's bi-monthly Ubuntu Hours going on (used to be weekly, > but the 2 who regularly went decided to switch to a bi-monthly schedules, I > myself was busy with classes, but jvlb and Phil decided this) apart from > that, there's not too much going on in Salem that I know about.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] your help needed!
I can be a contact for Portland. If it's worth a hill of beans, I'm QIII - a moderator on Ubuntu Forums. I haven't managed to get down to Salem for a meeting because of my work schedule, but if someone has an SIP account I could put my ugly face on someone's laptop there with Jitsi and join the meetings by telepresence.

So I've been trying to do what I can to make Ubuntu Oregon better. Well, I wanted to get us a website again, so I tried to get Canonical to take care of the hosting. Unfortunately, that's something they only offer for verified teams, and it appears we're not. Here's the deal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamVerificationGuidelines I don't think we need much to get there. I can do the paperwork and all that. What I would like to do is organize all of the different events and people. Can folks give me an idea of what's going on in their neck of the woods? Any relevant events would be helpful. Linux User Group events are great. If Ubuntu Oregon makes a showing, it will help build our reputation. I just helped fix a guy's wifi at our LUG's monthly meeting. :) I would appreciate it if anyone would be willing to step up and be the unofficial point of contact for their neck of the woods. I can handle Eugene, but Portland, Salem, Southern Oregon, Bend-ish, and points East could all use people. I just need someone to talk to. No titles or real work required. :) Any other questions or comments, send them my way.
