[ubuntu-florida] Loco Team Updates from the Loco Contacts list!

[Chris Crisafulli]

Team,

Wanted to take a moment to share with everyone the the following info
from the loco-contacts e-mail list:


Ubuntu Weekly News and The Fridge (17 Jun 2010)

Amber Graner has asked that if any teams or team members have any news
that they would like to share on Ubuntu Weekly News, go to the following
link and make a submission or two: 

https://spreadsheets0.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGVoUHFJdjg0OUo3UmpXTF9uTmtLTGc6MQ

This is a great way to not only sharing what we are doing, but also a
great way to encourage new teams.

Columbian Team Request for Testimonials

"Ubuntu Colombia has been one of the most active communities in Latin
America, and now we are making the wiki for ReApproval as an Official
LoCo Team.

We are glad to invite to the contacts and members of other LoCo Teams
to leave some Testimonials in our wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ColombianTeam/TeamRenewal "

Hashtag for #locoteams

"The Ubuntu community is a large international group of very
enthusiastic and smart people who come up with new and exciting ways of
sharing and promoting Ubuntu. Why not share that information with more
people, use the *#locoteams* tag when you tweet and tell people about
the work you are doing or just to get ideas flowing, maybe you?re stuck
and want to bounce ideas off one another. "

OpenSUSE Conference looking for Ubuntu Participation

"The openSUSE folks are holding a conference in Nuremberg from 20-23
October[1]. They are working on a "cross-pollination" type track at
the event, and would like to see participation from Ubuntu
contributors:

"Basically the idea is to get multiple distros and upstream projects
under one roof and have an open discussion/meet with presentations,
talks, workshops and maybe even some hacking on common ground.  The
ultimate aim is to advance the Linux cause and promote some cross
project love.  The potential topics could be anything from a11y to
zealot handling.  Things that all projects suffer from and things that
the closed competition potentially do better.  If anyone from Ubuntu
would like to propose a talk, please do so by emailing
cfp at opensuse.org/"

LoCo Health Check

" *LoCo Health Che*ck sessions on the 1st Tuesday of each month in 
*#ubuntu-locoteams*. In this session if you have any queries from your 
team or ideas you want to get some feedback on this would be a great 
place to bring them up and chat to others in the community.The idea is 
we the council will add some topics we?d like to share with the 
community or get feedback on.

There is also an area for you to add a topic you want to hear about or 
bring up and get feedback.

Meetings take place on #ubuntu-locoteams the agenda - 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/LoCoHealthCheck is open for anyone 
to add items to, but if you do add items, PLEASE turn up. This is open 
to EVERYONE in EVERY TEAM. Come along and meet more people in the
Ubuntu 
Community. "
