New Central Oklahoma (Shawnee) Ubuntu User!

[Triple_X]

Hey all,

Just a quick note to say hello and meet fellow Oklahoma Ubuntu fanatics.
My name is Chris. I am a recent "full" convert (have been dabbling with Linux for many years) that has recently done away with Windows on my desktop and chose ubuntu (Hardy).
I have of course worked in the IT field for over 15 years, play sports (coach little league - I have 4 kids), play WoW, and love the outdoors (hunting, fishing, camping, etc.).
I live near Shawnee, and work in OKC as IT Manager for a medical company over Oklahoma...I frequent our locations in Tulsa as well.

Anyway, just a hello!

Hi Chris,

Nice to hear from you! There are instructions in the sticky thread about how to become an Ubuntero, and how to join the launchpad group and the mailing list.

The next time you are in Tulsa give me a holler and maybe we can meet for lunch or something.

Just curious - does your company use any Linux?

Regards,

-james.

Sure thing, will do! Will have to sign up (the key for the CoC signage) from home on my Linux box.
I guess that answers your other question...no, all Windows (desktop-wise) here at work.
I tried years ago, but was over-rode. It is a VERY large company (45K+ people), so I can't see it ever happening.

HEEEY!!!! Activity!

Hopefully with summer almost in full swing we can spark up some activity and keep it going.

I helped the LA LoCo put on a successful booth at a hamfest in LA, it was fun, I hope to be able to get OK to the point that we are organizing events and booths

I'm in Eldorado but sooner or later I'm sure we'll manage to get together for some type of event I'm really looking forward to meeting you guys in person some time.
