=== Announcements ===

It is a big week so far, we got our bulk shipment of CDs in. 400
assorted CDs for our team to use to further promote Ubuntu. We are also
starting to get the open source conference geared up and rolling, which
has been a blast. Lots of things to think about and to do. So, as you
can see, we are still a busy group, and need all the participation we
can get from the members. Drop by on Sunday at 9:00 PM in #ubuntu-us-az
on irc.freenode.net and help us out. You'll be glad you did!!

=== Summary of the June 22, 2008 meeting ===

johnc4510 called the meeting to order at 9:02 PM

The agenda for the meeting was at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/Meetings/08June22.

The Gutsy Geek radio show (http://www.GutsyGeeks.com/) may be recording
a section on the Arizona Team's Approval and what it means to the team. 
The program will presumably be aired next Sunday, and will be provided
in ogg and proprietary format from their website.  johnc4510 will send
an email to the mailing list if the event takes place.

The Open Source Conference has a new tool for its development.  LuftHans
reported that a mailing list as been set up for the use of the
organizing committee.  In addition, LuftHans has invited some people who
would be useful in organizing the conference, several of whom represent
different groups.  He has also been making personal notes on some tracks
ideas and some speakers and other random stuff.  LuftHans then brought
up Software Freedom Day, http://softwarefreedomday.org/.  This would be
on September 20, 2008.  He suggested the possibility that Software
Freedom Day and the Open Source Conference might be combined.  azteech
suggested making some workshops, as part of the event.

johnc4510 and tyche have been further learning about Durpal, in
preparation for setting up a site on the Ubuntu servers.  Currently,
they've discovered a theme that they like called Aurora (see

and

for examples).  Comments from the Team concerning this theme would be
welcome.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:08 PM.
