=== Summary of the May 30, 2009 meeting ===
Jeff_Martin called the meeting to order at 9:02 PM
Agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/Meetings/09May30
First he welcomed a new member, todd, to the Arizona LoCo: "I have been
using ubuntu 1.5 years. Install fest was a nice showing and helped a
lot of people. I think I joind several months ago just finnaly made here."
Jeff_Martin then started with some announcements:
* Due to circumstances beyond my control, I will be moderating this
meeting. JohnC4510 ( John Crawford ) is still on vacation, hopefully on
his way home, and Tyche ( Craig Eddy ) is feeling a bit under the
weather --we all hope your eyes get better soon. I look forward to
working with you and talking to you here in the irc.
* AZ LoCo was present at the 05/30/2009 PLUG InstallFest held at the
University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, AZ. Tyche (Craig Eddy) was
on hand streaming a live video feed (
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/install-fest-from-uat---5-30-09 ) of the
event using the UStream broadcaster from his Dell Mini. I was unable to
view the live stream, but we should be able to record future streams for
an archive and further viewing.
* The Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter 144, went live this morning and is
available at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue144.
We would like to thank everyone that worked on this issue, and look
forward to publishing many more in the future. Special thanks go out to
myrtlebeachbums ( Dave Bush ) for leading the effort this week.
* Canonical is building an Android execution environment, making it
possible to run Android applications on the Ubuntu desktop. The
environment will function like a simulator/emulator, thereby providing
the virtual infrastructure that is needed to make the applications run.
As more companies adopt the Android model for mobile communications,
Canonical and Ubuntu plan on getting the resouces to the developer and
to the user.
Jeff_Martin then asked xHans for any PLUG announcements:
* PLUG devel is this Thursday. http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/node/561
* Sunday MatthewMPP will be throwing another BlenderCAD bash at his
place, http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/node/774 . Ask MatthewMPP if you have
questions about that
* Dennis' next intro to GNU/Linux class starts Tuesday night. It's
full, but he might be able to give you an override.

to keep selling those out, so please call and ask why the description is
wrong
The meeting was adjourned at 9:29 PM.
