Place: Panera Bread in Longmont
Time: 6:30 ~ 9~9:30
Date: Saturday, 08 December
Subject: Discuss news, Ubuntu, Help, tutorials, etc….

I would like to have people demonstrate new ideas or concepts. Please bring your laptop so you can show off and enjoy the free secure wifi.

We have now joined the trend in using a more official and standard IRC channel with the rest of the other locos. The new channel can be reached at #ubuntu-us-co on irc.freenode.net. The hopes for doing this change is to allow for a more convention irc channel name with the rest of the LoCos. As well as make it easier for new members to find us by sticking to this convention. The old channel is still up as well. So if you have fliers out or contact information to the old channel. They still will work. All who attempt to connect to this channel will be redirected into the new one.

We are also looking at logging all conversations in the IRC channel to allow for other members to review what has gone on in the day. As well as give a means for those that miss meetings to view the meeting notes. We hope this idea will be beneficial to all current and new members once in place.

We hope all enjoy these changes and ideas to come.

Thanks to Jim “Musashi” Hutchinson’s efforts our group has managed to score a great writeup in Full Circle Magazine. The write-up is over his efforts with the T.I.E. conference a couple months ago. It talks about many of the things that they covered at the conference and the teachers reactions to the thoughts of using Open Source and the Edubuntu/Ubuntu Operating System. They also cover the great Thin-Client network that Jim and David setup for the event to show of to the teachers and the network administrators what Edubuntu/Ubuntu could do.

The write up is on Page 11 of the PDF which you can download here.

P.S. Thanks Alex for notifying the group about this great write-up.

Meeting Scheduled for Next Thursday, October 4th @ 11:00am Irc.freenode.net #ubuntu-colorado
