Hi all,

First up: The Community Council formalized our existence at this morning's meeting. Yay!

DC LoCo Team Meeting

WHEN: Tuesday, June 5, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
WHERE: Rio Grande Cafe, 4301 Fairfax Dr, Arlington, VA 22203 (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=4301%20Fairfax%20Dr,%20Arlington,%20VA%2022203) near the Ballston Metro stop (Orange Line) (http://wmata.com/maps/metrorail_street_map.cfm)
AGENDA: ??? (Maybe we should have a page.)

Next: The FOSSED conference at Gallaudet in August... There hasn't been as much interest as anticipated, partially because we've held off on advertising, waiting for a more finalized schedule. It looks like we work with the schedule we have, til something better comes along. That schedule is at:

http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/~kjcole/OldSite/events/2007/fossed-dc.php

(Note at the top of the page, the link to the spreadsheet version.) The registration form is at:

http://fossed.net/mod/resource/view.php?id=88

Even if you cannot attend, consider advertising to those who might be interested. More info available on http://fossed.net/ and I think I'll throw one of the e-mails I've sent out advertising
the conference onto the dc.ubuntu-us.org site.

Last: If we have interesting tidbits, we should consider contributing to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter (UWN) at:

Til next time...

If folks have any thoughts on agenda, post 'em here. I'm not saying we'll GET to them, but at least we'll be aware of what we're ignoring. ;-) My big ticket items are going to be trying to make sure we have all our ducks (and disks) in a row for FOSSED, and Takoma Park Folk Festival.
