Team News
----------------------------

Hardy Heron has been released and the hamfest has come and gone. We gave out cds, stickers, business cards with contact information and more. We had a great time Saturday and overall it was a very successful event. Thank you to everyone who contributed, it wouldn't have been possible for us to do this without each of you!


----------------------------
CDs and Business Cards
----------------------------

We had CDs and business cards leftover after the hamfest. We tried to distribute these evenly around the state so as many people as possible would have access to them. If you'd like to get some of these to pass out please let us know where you are from and we will get you in touch with the closest team member who has the materials.

There are also quite a few business cards in addition to the ones distributed to the team members around the state. If anyone runs out and would like more, please contact Wesley Harp.

Ubuntu Community
----------------------------

This week is Ubuntu Open Week. Ubuntu Open Week is a collection of various IRC sessions centered around how you can contribute to the Ubuntu community. Topics covered include packaging, reporting and triaging bugs, writing documentation and more. The schedule is listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek. If you see something that interests you, or if you'd just like to learn more about the Ubuntu community, this is a great way to get started. Once some of our members get involved with things like triaging bugs and writing documentation, we can participate in these efforts as a team.

Our next team meeting will be on May 1st at 9:00pm in our IRC channel #ubuntu-us-la. If you have something that should be on the agenda at this meeting please add it here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LouisianaTeam/Meetings
