Hello! Background:- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams/MeetupProposal
We (Canonical) have signed up (and pay for) for a MeetUp Organiser account. This makes it easy for people in the Ubuntu community around the world to create and manage events on MeetUp.com. I created one for the UK Team here:- http://www.meetup.com/Ubuntu-UK-Local-Community-Team Feel free to join. I'm not going to start spamming the group with stuff, so don't worry about getting a flood of notifications. I'm new-ish to MeetUp too, so feel free to point out any mistakes / omissions on the above page :) You can see the 'world map' at the url below. Currently we're just starting out, so there's only a couple of groups :) http://www.meetup.com/pro/ubuntu/ The idea being if anyone _anywhere_ in the UK wanted to create an Ubuntu related event they can create / manage / publicise it for free on MeetUp to other like minded individuals. If people join the 'team' they will get notified of upcoming events and can sign up (if required) to get updates about those events. I'm sure many of you have heard of MeetUp and/or have used it too. The wiki page above goes into way more detail. In short:- * Nobody is forcing anyone to use MeetUp, it's just a service we thought people might like to use * We can create events anywhere around the UK (or beyond) despite the group being 'based' in London (it's not based there, it's just that the site wants a 'place' by default) * Other services are available As a starter we're looking to set-up some themed events maybe starting as soon as next month and ongoing through next year which people may be interested in attending. If people have ideas on subjects they'd like talked about, or additional events elsewhere, let me know. Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
