To All: Daniel has made an excellent point ! Did you know that Canadians are somewhat behind the rest of the world in using Linux? Most of my friends look on Linux as something subversive or worse. Recently I've had a little succes in promoting Ubuntu's "Live CD", and have offered the "Live DVD" to a few friends. Could we start with an "aware" group. It's one thing to promote, yet another to do something really helpfull. Suggestions ?

I mean, UBZ is happening in Montreal, QC, Canada! UBZ being in Montreal had nothing to do with the LoCo. We learned about it at the same time than anybody else in Ubuntu-land. The LoCo wasn't involved in the planning or organization of that conference. > I am pretty active and I believe you are too, Corey - we're far from > alone. ;) I see at least another Canadian (Hubert I'd like to propose > you add our listing to <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda"> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda</a> > (Locoteams section). Yeah, we're active ;) Nobody question individual users being active, or some groups based in Canada of being active. But the LoCo Canadian team, as a team, currently isn't active and and doesn't function as a team, doing team activities, and providing active team resources. i'm not pointing fingers here at anyone or at anything, but I think it's a fact that we can all see by looking at the LoCo team activities in recent weeks, which are near none. We'll be able to add yourselves to the LoCoTeams listings the day we are an active and functional LoCo team. I suspect it will pretty obvious to us and to outside observers when we reach that level. But in my opinion we are not there today. It is also my opinion that we are probably not that far off: the base is there and we only need to gather some momentum and focus our energies on some well defined activities/community resources to get us on our way. -- Daniel Robitaille -- ubuntu-ca mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-ca@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-ca@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca"> http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca</a> </blockquote></div>
