Hi LoCo Council & Ubuntu Americas, I wanted to provide a update on Ubuntu Oregon for your review: Ubuntu Oregon had gone pretty silent for a number of months due to what I believe was a lack of motivation from anyone to lead the team. I personally was disappointed about the lack of events and during OSCON I took the lead and have been working hard to bring things together. Ubuntu Oregon had multiple members at OSCON and worked with the Ubuntu Washington Team to man a booth every day of the expo and we also pulled off a popular Ubuntu Global Jam and had approximately 15+ people in attendance. Myself and one other member ran a Ubuntu Booth at PuppetConf this entire past week which went very well and we distributed nearly 50 Desktop CD's and 30 Server CD's and Four Bags of Ubuntu Lanyards. Some Improvements in Ubuntu Oregon:
I think Ubuntu Oregon is making great progress and we are reaching out to make connections with the people at OSU OSL (Oregon State University Open Source Labs) and I personally am trying to encourage team members in rural areas to scout for Ubuntu Users and hold regional meetup's when possible while providing them with resources to do such. Notably there are still things that need to be worked on and improved but I do think we are moving quickly in the right direction and it is my hope that the Oregon LoCo will grow so robust that it will never need to be revived again. And for those who likes photos here is a group photo of Canonical Employees with Ubuntu Oregon Team from this past week at PuppetConf: http://imgur.com/GPKMV Any feedback, questions or comments are appreciated.  |
