-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all. I just wanted to fill you in that some personal things have come up and I really don't know what will be happening in the coming weeks/months. While it's possible nothing could change on the Ubuntu front, I feel that it is more likely that some or all of my involvement will need to be scaled back or changed in some way. I want you to know that I have very much enjoyed everything I've been able to do with this community, and will be continuing to participate if that turns out to be possible. If not, I will be back, I just don't know when. I ask everyone involved to try to be understanding and flexible in working around stuff. I've tried to summarize the things I've been part of / in charge of below so that everyone can keep track of areas that may need to be covered otherwise:
IRC Operators team: While I don't need to be considered as "left", depending on how things work out and your judgment you will need to decide whether it makes sense to bring another person onboard to help out. Any time that I am on IRC I will of course be happy to fulfill my duties here, it's just that I don't have any idea how often I will be online. My access channels are as follows: #ubuntu-overflow #ubuntu-classroom-chat #ubuntu-classroom #ubuntu-freshers #ubuntu-offtopic #ubuntu-unregged #ubuntu-cowspam #ubuntu-ops #xubuntu #ubuntu New Users Network: We had talked about me taking over the Classroom scheduling side of things, with others also helping out with various leadership tasks. Unfortunately, I think it would probably be unwise to continue with that plan, as I doubt that I would be able to do as good of a job with that as it needs. Again, maybe it will turn out that I'm around plenty anyway and can be tapped as a significant resource, but I won't know that for at least a few weeks yet, and given that it's already February we probably need to have some sort of action taken much quicker than that. Some of the information I have collected so far resides at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/Ideas. Ubuntu Canada: Here I probably have my least "official" involvement. Relevant points for you guys would be that I probably still can do a Canada Planet administration stuff if you choose to do that, since it's a relatively low-commitment task. Personally, there's a good chance my blog will disappear again for a while, since I am going home, to dialup, and won't be able to self-host anymore, so that will be pending change in some area sadly. Dave can keep up the good work on announcements about Toronto craziness I hope. I had also been hoping to try to get the Ojibwe translation off the ground; I have no idea when, if ever, that will happen. I know a couple other people in Toronto were looking at this too. I had https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-oj, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOjibweTranslators, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] set up already, just waiting to be used. Trent and Lakehead Universities have large communities of native speakers worth tapping if someone wants to send off and e-mail some time, my primary concerns here being explaining what this is all about, and communicating the poor state of Rosetta for dialectically fragmented languages at the moment. Oh, and Corey - you can either keep my stickers or add a little more postage and send to MN at your option; I'm going home. But really, do get them to everyone else before the next passage of Halley's Comet. :P Marketing team: I have been helping as of late on UWN, with beats of Security bulletins and In the Press, although I've actually been doing random other things like Community Spotlight more often. Cody also had his name on Security; could someone else step up for In the Press? Hopefully around a bit or at least back soon, Tony Yarusso https://launchpad.net/~tonyyarusso -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFyXGG6iO+5ByUi/QRAnTnAJ9+ohhH8ilJznAkm1xOzX7BElp0OACeNkKG dQeJnsOYMyAoiT0oWrpI1qg= =DcaR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
