[Ubuntu Chicago] meeting notes

[Patrick Green]

It would appear that you had a great meeting.

purpose: advocate and support for the ubuntu distro of linux in the
chicagoland
area.

The core values, b.h.a.g. big hairy audacious goal, and broad goals are a
great step of team focus.  Now, in regard to this.....

"Project coordinator. Patrick, your name came up for this kind of thing.
You've got enthusiasm for these projects, man. You had about 7 people out
for the CLC project. Of course, we can discuss all of this further, but
would you be interested in this?"

I am honored and I would love to take this post.

Cheers

Patrick
