Yesterday evening's Salem Ubuntu meeting was a great success, thanks to those who attended, as well as those who attended last time. Sorry I couldn't make it last time. I herd last meeting was a great success, with a few new members showing up.
Members present for Feb 19th meeting: James. B Cody. S Ryan (new member, longtime Linux/Ubuntu user) Phil. N Discussion Topics; Canonical's - Global Ubuntu Day campaign, Release party for 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus). *Regarding - Global Ubuntu Day campaign.* We would like to know, if there is anything in the works for a newspaper announcement for Global Ubuntu Day that each LoCo could use. We understand the *inaugural Ubuntu Day will take place in Milan, Italy*. Here is a link to the original "Global Ubuntu Day" announcement. http://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/01/15/ubuntu-is-coming-to-a-city-near-you/ Q1. In what other city(s) will the Global Ubuntu Day event be held in, and how can each LoCo be involved? Our thinking is to have a generic "Global Ubuntu Day" announcement approved by Canonical, so each LoCo could add (fill in the blank) their own venue. Name of LoCo event, time and place they regularly meet. This way each LoCo could provide their local newspaper with something that's both approved by Canonical and professional looking. This would act as a public service announcement (PSA), which I believe are free, however there maybe size and or formatting requirements. Che - Has created some example marketing material and put then up on Spread Ubuntu at http://spreadubuntu.org/, and also on his Google drive at https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0Bze0ebspiCtkbmtGQ3REbVJIOEk&usp=sharing. For convince I've copied Che's links, which he originaly emailed to everyone on January 24th, into this email. Hope that's O.K with Che... Flyer 1 http://spreadubuntu.org/en/material/brochure/ubuntu-information-flyer-1?nocache=1 Flyer 2 http://spreadubuntu.org/en/material/brochure/ubuntu-information-flyer-2?nocache=1 Che has done a great job creating and grouping them together for future use. - Thanks Che. Q2. Is there a "Global Ubuntu Day" announcement approved by Canonical that is already in the works? Q3. And can each LoCo use it for their own local newspaper announcement? Could Walter, or someone please advise. - Thanks. *Regarding - release party for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Xenial Xerus.* As most of you already know, Ubuntu 16.04 is set to be released on April 21st, 2016. And it's a Long Term Support (LTS) release, which only happens every couple of years... so Q4. Are we going to hold a release party, and if so, where in Portland? By unanimous vote during Friday's Salem Ubuntu hour, we would be happy to travel to Portland for a LTS release party. Especially if Ben would be willing to get permission to hold release party a Mozilla. ;-) Ben, Walter, could you please check on this and advise. - Thanks. Much thanks everyone. Phil.
