Welcome Mike! We'd love to have your contributions. You can check out the forum sticky for the location of our mailing lists and IRC. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FloridaTeam/GetInvolved is also usually updated with ongoing events.

Hi!

Sorry, I haven't gone through everyone's intros as there are 11 pages of them! That's great news though.

My name is Jamal Fanaian. I am a web developer, living in Casselberry (Greater Orlando area). I have been using Linux for a few years now, started playing a while ago and about 2 years ago hopped on Ubuntu as my primary OS. I have to admit, it is great. It is also about time I meet some people that are as excited about Linux and Ubuntu as I am so I decided to try to join this group and meet some people.

Hope to see you all soon! I will be keeping up with the event page

Thanks!
Jamal

When I'm not working/studying, I enjoy rock climbing.

Welcome to the Florida Local Community Teams Forums! I am slightly confused, I thought eskimo's were from Alaska... and do you think your not a nerd simply because you play sports??? I'll bet you spend more than an hour or two on your computer a day! Well regardless Thanks for letting us know a little about you!

Hey there Chris, It was nice of you to swing in and give a litte info about yourself. I used to dig Rock Climbing (Indoors at a local gym) but haven't been able to climb for some time. We're glad that you took the time to visit our forums. Feel free to swing into #ubuntu-us-fl on freenode if you feel like chatting with the rest of the team!
