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 near the Ballston Metro stop (Orange Line)
• 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/OldS.../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...

Yay, a use for the forum
Now all we have to do is get people to read it.

I'll do what I can to show up, but that's well on the otherside of the beltway. pencil me in.

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.
