[Ubuntu-US-CA] Project: Letters to our Representatives

[Grant Bowman]

Greetings,

Oakland has been chosen once again for uds.ubuntu.com May 6-9, 2013!
The "s" adjective and animal for uds-s have yet to be chosen.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames

I would like to propose a letter writing campaign with ubuntu-us-ca
volunteers. We will target our state legislature (assembly and
senate), CA congressional representatives (house and senate) and local
media with an announcement of what uds.ubuntu.com is and what it might
mean to them. We should include how they might be able to learn more
and/or even participate. We will need to be prepared to field phone
calls and questions ourselves and direct responses to the appropriate
parties such as official Ubuntu and Canonical contacts.

Writing our initial contact letter should be a collaborative effort of
the ubuntu-us-ca team, working together on this via email, IRC and
maybe a sprint. What do you think?

Grant
