Hey all, Things are supposed to wind down before the weekend, right?  I always hope.....  So sorry for not sending this sooner.  Anyways, a very productive meeting yesterday.  At least I thought.  And thanks to Sara and those on IRC for trying to keep everyone in the loop.  So, a brief summary here, and I will put up more details on the wiki.  Also, I will send out another email on the Educator's Exploration idea as well add page(s) to the wiki for that.  <ol><li>Ubuntu Release Party - Everything is set, Thursday, October 30th 2008 7pm EST, <a href="http://www.globebarandcafe.com/" target="_blank">Globe Bar & Grill</a>, more details <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MassachusettsTeam/Events/ReleaseParties/8.10-IntrepidIbex" target="_blank">here</a>.  </li> <li>Walter & SugarCRM is looking for help in a few things.  One is help in aligned package versions/updates between Ubuntu and SugarCRM, another is general deployment to kids so they can run it on their own computers, and last but not least is deployment to schools (specifically Steve mentioned one in Dorchester).  Steve is going to talk to Walter to see if there are a few dates that might work for him to meet and talk with us all.</li> <li>Educator's Exploration was where the "what events do you want to see" conversation seemed to settle on.  We don't want to forget nor not have others participate.  We all thought that focusing on one audience though might be better use of our time & efforts.  And I gather we have alot of people with industry knowledge/experience/contacts/etc.  Like I hinted above, I will send more info on that as soon as possible (later today or tomorrow).</li> <li>Audio Streaming of meetings was mentioned at one point in IRC.  Though someone said they weren't sure that everyone's connections could handle it.  It'd be something to explore, if anyone is interested.  Some easily setup on internal mic's on laptops, so someone at the meeting could stream. </li></ol>If anyone has comments/thoughts on what we talked about, please chime right in.  And for those that participated, please correct/add where I've messed-up/forgot.  Best, Rio
