[Ubuntu Chicago] Team Mission

[Eddie Martinez]

Our mission should include teaching the operating system/computers in
general. this is one of our the strongest points of chiglug that the
loco is missing. Of course they have a different mission plan, but I
still feel the point stands.

Examples: Doc mentoring, presentations/talks. more of our members
should be using the web-blag format. we should be ACTIVELY setting up
more Barcamps, more Flourishes, more ChiCons.

Obviously our school districts aren't going to be 100% receptive of
throwing Edubuntu or anything along those lines, but we at least talk
more about technical issues, in some capacity. This was the rationale
for trying to schedule meetings somewhat more regularly. As the third
oldest Loco, in the third biggest US city, we should be playing a more
prominent role in the community.

Flourish showed that the demand for our Loco's work was out there, and
I think we should strive for being a visible and viable force.

okay, now im going to get off my high house for a min. and be real.
You guys know that I am always willing to help out and work whenever I
can on some Ubuntu love. Let's get it going.

ps. Richard, you forgot to mention Chad and Manchicken as devs. They
both work hard for the 'buntu.
