[ubuntu-us-ma] Getting Involved

[Martin Owens]

Welcome Mark,

To get involved I'd check off all the items on this page:

http://www.ubuntu-massachusetts.com/joining/

It lists all of the things that you should do to get involved, including
how to join the IRC channel and joining the launchpad group.

Then come to any of the events, meet people, come to the meeting yes,
but also don't be shy to come to any of our other events. (Like Tuesday
nights at SETC)

Then once your settled, I'm sure you'll be able to get your hands dirty
with an event, organising, marketing, etc. Don't be afraid to suggest
new ideas and things you'd like to do in MA with Ubuntu, most of us are
quite happy to join in.

Also don't be shy to join in other people's events and suggestions,
we'll talk about events and things at the meeting, but sometimes an
event will be too close to make the meeting and it's worth just getting
out there and doing it.

Hope to see you around.

Best Regards, Martin Owens
