Hi,

Was there any talk of an Ubuntu Hour at the IRC meeting?

Is there anyone as North as I am (Saginaw)?

I'd like to have an Ubuntu Hour at a local coffee shop (Crumbs, on Center Rd
in Saginaw Township), but I'd also like to have someone else there who can
also field questions and show off their Ubuntu laptop.

I was thinking about a Saturday afternoon, but not til April at the
earliest; I have stuff going on every weekend in March.

> As many of you may know, one of the best linux related groups in Michigan
> is MUG, or Michigan!/usr/group (http://www.mug.org). They hold monthly
> meetings in Southfield, Michigan. Many Ubuntu LoCo team members have been

> Rick Harding are the co-hosts of the awesome Lococast podcast
> (http://lococast.net). And the Ubuntu Michigan LoCo/MUG intermingling
> doesn't stop there. Many other LoCo members have presented in the past
> include Jorge Castro, Rick, and myself.
>
> MUG also brings in amazing out of town speakers and can do that because
> they help pay the travel costs as much as possible. The room they use for
> the meetings is also something they have to pay for each time. Thus, to
> put on such great events with such great content requires some money.
> This is why they have yearly membership dues of $35. I know that some
> LoCo members are also paying MUG members.
>
>
> The Proposal
> ------------
>
> MUG has also recently started a new program where a business or group can
> sponsor a meeting:
> http://www.mug.org/twiki/bin/view/Mugwiki/CorpSponsorship
>
> Basically, what this means is that we could, as a group, raise the $150
> to sponsor a MUG meeting where we could then have an Ubuntu-themed
> meeting and any member of the Michigan LoCo will be considered a full
> member for 2011.
>
> Really, the best part is contributing to the success of MUG and having an
> Ubuntu-themed MUG meeting.
>
> At last night's IRC meeting it was officially decided that we will
> participate as a LoCo and sponsor a MUG meeting. This is where *YOU* come
> in.
>
>
> The How
> -------
>
> Lets raise that required $150 as fast as we can! I will be accepting
> donations to my Paypal account (greg at grossmeier.net). When we hit $150
> I'll send a note to this mailing list and let the MUG Board know.
>
> Also, in case anyone has any reservations about giving money to me to
> then give to MUG, I will log into my Paypal account for any LoCo member
> who attends a MUG meeting and show the donation information.
>
> The next part is the best: Our sponsored meeting.
>

> Our Meeting
> -----------
