This is my first story submission so I hope this is appropriate. The Maryland Loco team is starting a new project that we are calling 'The State Tour'. If the following blurb could be included in the newsletter to gain some publicity for this it would be appreciated. As I'm not a professional (an am barely an amateur) writer please feel free to correct grammar, punctuation, etc if needed. If you want or need more info please feel free to contact me. Thanks in advance! The Maryland Ubuntu Local Community Team has started a new project called “The State Tour”. The goal of this project is to go to a different parts of the state that are not close enough to our group's center to participate in person. Currently the plan is once a month we will visit an area that is 45 minutes or further from our current meeting spot in Columbia, MD. We will go out and meet the people that are interested in Ubuntu and F/OSS in different places. We hope to set a starting point for Ubuntu sub-teams in the areas we visit. Additionally we will be trying to hold these meetings at least partially in areas that we can give a presentation to the general public. Within the presentations we will teach about Ubuntu, Linux and F/OSS in general. The first Tour stop will be in Finksburg, MD at the local library on December 5th from 9:30am until 11:30am. Among the plans for the visit are: The main presentation about Ubuntu A few demo machines so people can touch and feel an ubuntu machine Free Ubuntu CDs If a person brings a flash drive with 1gb or more of free space we'll create a LiveUSB disk for them! And the best part, Meeting New Friends!
