When you register (or even if you are already registered) please be sure to put yourself on the map.

OK, dumbest question of the day, how do I put myself on the map???

Go to this page. As I recall you add a pin to the map.

It's the procedure of leaving a pin in the map that has my pea brain baffled...

I just joined the team and my pin was automaticcly there.. I didn't add anything.

Anyone else interested in meetings and stuff??

Well, for whatever reason, my pin never showed. I'm in Bentonville.

I think you just click on the map showing where you are.

It took me awhile to remember... others have suggested you can set your location on the TeamArkansas page, but here's the sure-fire way:

Go to your OWN page in Launchpad -- after you are registered and logged in at http://launchpad.net/ click your username at the top right corner to get to your Launchpad information. Scroll to the bottom of that page, and click the link under the Google map that says "Set location and time zone." You will see a Google map with some directions at the top. There is no need to find your exact street location -- in or near the nearest town is fine.

Thank you for setting your location! I hope we can plan some events based on where our team members live or work...

EDIT: I just realized I forgot to include a VERY important point -- you have to join Team Arkansas in launchpad before you show up on our map. https://launchpad.net/~teamarkansas/+map

Hey, I'm up here in Berryville. Been using Ubuntu since November 2009 and love it. I am wondering if there is a group that gets together in NW Arkansas, Springdale/Fayetteville/Rogers/Bentonville, or better, Eureka Springs or Harrison? I'd like to get together with some other users to learn more. I'm not a hacker, but would like to see Ubuntu much more well known. I am not likely to be writing, code, but wonder how a group working together could help push Ubuntu? I am becoming more and more enthusiastic about Ubuntu.


I am not a student, and I am a bit older than most here on the forum (60).

I've been tempted to go in a Office Max, or Office Depot, and load the a Ubuntu page on Internet Explorer on all the display computers, especially a UNR page on all the netbooks. Decided against it. Sounded a bit immature. Even at 60, I sometimes get ideas like that. Age doesn't keep me from thinking it, but from actually doing it.

Still, is there a local group, or are there others who would like to start one?

cloyd: I'd check out NWALUG. Here's their url for the mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/nwalug
