[ubuntu-us-in] [vorian at ubuntu.com: [Ubuntu-US] Now What Do I Do?]

[Seth Dudenhofer]

I would be willing to help with some wiki's. Maybe some of us getting
together at the Ohio Linux Fest can discuss this, and then add it to our
next monthly meeting. May be get a team to start helping in some way.

Oh, has anyone decided where we are meeting on Saturday?
