[CoLoCo] Call for Leadership

[Alexander Stokes]

CoLoCo team,

I am Alexander Stokes, and I am pretty sure non of you guys know me. I have
been an Ubuntu evangelist among my small group of geeky comp sci friends,
and my passion for this OS has grown beyond those shoes. So I joined my
local team, ...you guys! And I am now in the strange position of asking to
lead. It's really silly to ask, but what I lack in experience, I make up in
enthusiasm. I love to learn, and thank goodness, I love to socialize. We
should keep this group alive! And if that means I make a giant leap to
lead, I guess all I need is your help, guidance and support. If nay, that's
totally cool, we just need to find a second option. I would hate to see
this group fizzle out!

I am a student at the University of Colorado, and I think it would be fun
to plan for an "Ubuntu table" at the various university event days. I could
help organize and do setup/ teardown. I just need a few people to show up
and glow with knowledge.

Elsewhere, we could call upon high school and university computer clubs to
schedule disk distribution in bulk,l ultimately fostering involvement with
the people who we will by competing/working with in the future.

Heh there are so many possibilities! We could show off some creative talent
in computer design at art shows, do bake sales(kidding), meet and greets
with lawmakers, Ubuntu picnics, bugging parties. I could go on.

It kinda saddens me that my inbox isn't spammed with possible events and
things to get our creative community out there. I can sure help fix that,
but its doubtful I can take over leadership (yet). ...Let's fix that!

Sincerely,
Alexander Stokes
