[dibryn]

I just fouind this while looking through Ubuntu forums. Will there be any more meetings?

[matthewcraig]

There are meetings happening all the time - everyday. Let me know when you are available and I can help you find something that will interest you.

I have been using Ubuntu since Sept '07, and just now have loaded Alpha 6. I like Ubuntu alot and I am learning more as I use it more. I also like debian but as a noobie that distro will take me time to learn. Waht can a new user of linux do? I hope to gain experience and learn from the pros.

[matthewcraig]

You're looking to promote Ubuntu, yes? No need to be a technical expert to start getting the word out in your community.

[dibryn]

I promote Ubuntu, Linux, and free software every chance I get. What I learn to fix problems with my systems, I pass it on to my friends who use linux and/or Ubuntu. I am currently trying to convince my company to donate their old systems to a group who can use them. I found a site from Murfreesboro, but I can't find it now, that will take older pc's and other hardware and put Ubuntu on them and donate to schools.

Well I'm a techie but I am chalegenged when it comes to code.

[dibryn]

I am a techie too. the last time I did any coding was when I took asembler language in school and that was 20 years ago. I'm now a script kiddy (hope I spelled it right) working with kixstart and VB scripting.

Want to hold a LoCo meeting? Post the time and place right here in this thread. Include a discussion topic.
Might want to also post the same announcement on the LoCo mailing list, too, for more publicity.

Want to set up computers for charities? Find a charity in town with non-profit status that needs old computers.
There are always companies looking to donate old computers, so they don't have to pay the disposal costs.

The Hoary release is scheduled for April 8th. Let's plan a release party shortly afterward, maybe the weekend of April 12-13th. Meeting at a restaurant worked pretty well for the Gutsy release party. Any other ideas?
