a while back someone here in Salem was looking to start the LUG back up, back in either 2011 or 2012 forget who it was, but never heard whether it came to fruition or not. For all we know, the Salem LUG stayed inactive. --c_smith On Wed, Sep 10, 2014 at 2:48 PM, Pat wrote: > Oh, you would say

I appreciate everyone's insights on the website. I see that the value of the website would be making it possible to put content that doesn't necessarily fit the LoCo Portal's template. It would also be a quick and easy way for us to let people know about us and the various locations we are on the w

Pat, for the release parties, make sure the venue is minor-friendly, since we tend to have minors there. Hence why some people chose to go to an arcade after the party. I'm honestly surprised Portland has arcades. XD Don't quote me on the arcade part, it's been a couple of years since I last went t

Only way to be sure is to contact Canonical legal.  AskUbuntu is a StackExchange thing, but I'm not sure if they had to get approval.  Maybe all the Trademark disclaimers are enough. At Ubuntu Forums we are "official" and hosted on Canonical's servers. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S®4. ---

The only advantages I'd see, offhand, are independence and local control. The wiki markup language used at Ubuntu is obscure and only slightly less arcane than Hittite, making customization problematic. There would also be fewer hoops to jump through in giving people access rights. On the other han

Thanks for the detailed review of WordPress. Perhaps that's something the team would want if it has some advantage over the wiki, but the point I was getting at was actually just making it easy for folks who might need to type in a URL and pull up the wiki.

Way back when I was the team contact (when we had regular irc meetings), we would post a date and agenda on the team wiki then send a reminder email to the list the day prior. We may have also updated the irc logon banner with the meeting date and time. -Dan On Sep 10, 2014 2:00 PM, wrote: > Sen
