Dear Idaho Team! I am sorry that it has taken me until now to get this out, but I wanted to update you on what we discussed at Saturday's Meeting. Here are the irclogs: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IdahoTeam/Minutes/2010May23">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IdahoTeam/Minutes/2010May23</a> The meeting was started off with two very important links. The <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct">Code Of Conduct</a>, and the <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/community/leadership-conduct">Leadership Code of Conduct</a>, wanting to make sure that everyone had read them both, in the meeting and all of you reading this. I didn't follow an official agenda, I was hoping to more or less guide a discussion, in order to try and narrow down who wanted to do what within the team. I wanted to find out how receptive everyone would be to Idahoclint becoming a leader and an administrator of the team. Clint has been doing some really good work for the Idaho Team. Curt still really wants to continue on in his role of Team Contact, He and Rihanha feel that his strengths are with administrative tasks on the back-end of things. Clint has led the Boise LUG meetings, and other events, and his strengths lie in leading and organising events. Rihanha and Curt both are willing to collaborate with Clint to combine each others strengths, and Curt made Clint and administrator in Launchpad during the meeting. Unfortunately, Clint wasn't present at the meeting, so I didn't get a chance to hear him weigh in, but I think we are moving in the right direction. Hopefully he to will see it that way. During the meeting, Darin was identified as a very technical person , and could prove to be a great asset to the team as he has demonstrated in the past that he likes to help and has made himself available when people need him to explain things and troubleshoot. We discussed places to have meet-ups, and talked about the need for reliable Internet Services. Several suggestions were made, based on what works for me and my team. We meet up at Local Coffee shops, Barnes and Nobles, Panera Bread Community Rooms. Here locally even the Denny has Free Wi-fi. There are several sites out there that even give rating systems on venues, with atmosphere, cost, and Internet access. So the decision was that Gyron (Curtis Elgin) will remain the Team Contact, Idahoclin (Clinton) was made an LP admin and has the support of Curt and Rihanha. Rihanha and Curt are going to get in touch with Clint and discuss the vision he has for getting Idaho Team back on track. I would like encourage all of you to begin idling in #ubuntu-us-id. Soon the #ubuntu-idaho will redirect to #ubuntu-us-id and people will begin wandering in, looking for help and to find out info about the team. I would also recommend that at least once a month (at the very least, twice would really be recommended) that as a team you meet in #ubuntu-us-id. I have requested that the LoCobot_4 get added to your channel for logging purposes, It will make it easier for you to find Logs to put in your meeting minutes. I would also encourage you to start taking some pictures, blogging about events, if anyone in your LoCo is an Ubuntu Member have them blog about the events and post them to <a href="http://planet.ubuntu.com">http://planet.ubuntu.com</a> . If not you can make summaries of your events/meetings and post them up as Team Reports. Team reports are published in Ubuntu Weekly News, So it will also help raise awareness for the Idaho Team. I am currently idling in #ubuntu-us-id, you can ping me, If I am away, I will respond as soon as I see it. Any question feel free to e-mail me directly, I will do my best to reply in a timely manner. -- Thanks for your time. -- Chris Crisafulli Ubuntu LoCo Council
