Name: R.L.Hogan (Hogi) Place: Highland,M. Distro: Ubuntu 7.10 Ubuntu interest---starting checking out the Linux world with Suse--then Mandriva--settled into Ubuntu 7.04, upgrade to 7.10. Currently trying to install 8.04 but can not get past establishing a root partition. gone back to 7.10. I am crossing over from Windows--Windows ME started the transition. I am still running one of my computers with Windows XP PRO. I like what I have seen with Linux and still on the learning curve. Non-Ubuntu interests--biking and just about any form of racing. plans for world domination--none. I just want to be sure that I make this world a better place to live in. <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 23, 2008 at 9:37 AM, Kevin DuBois <<a href="mailto:kdub432@gmail.com">kdub432@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Name: Kevin Dubois (kdubois) Place: Ann Arbor, MI for most of the year Distro(s): Ubuntu Hardy, Arch, Debian Etch Ubuntu/OSS interests: I like to help out with coding multimedia or 3d apps, so I've written a few (uncommited still, grumble) effects for Compiz Fusion, with some plugins in the works  and some things for VLC. I hope to move into kernel development too. I like to help out with user support, and I can package things poorly and reluctantly :-D. I gave a speech about ubuntu for loco a few months ago, if any opportunities arise, I'd be happy to give more :-D non-Ubuntu interests: I'm the VP of my fraternity at U-M. I also like swimming, and anything outdoors-like <div class="gmail_quote"><div class="Ih2E3d">On Fri, May 23, 2008 at 6:15 AM, Wolfger <<a href="mailto:wolfger@gmail.com" target="_blank">wolfger@gmail.com</a>> wrote: </div><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Chatting on IRC the other day, somebody reminded me that our fine LoCo hit over 100 people right after Penguicon. That, of course, is 100 memebers *on paper*. We've certainly not seen that many posting on this list or hanging out is #ubuntu-us-mi which is what we'd really like to see. Heck, I'd rather see 25 active members than 250 inactive ones... So who's actually out there? Please introduce yourselves, and give us an idea what your interests are (in or out of Ubuntu), where in this large-ish state you live, and what activities you'd like to see the LoCo (and yourself) engage in. Name: Wolfger (or Mike Foster, if you insist) Place: New Baltimore (NE Macomb County) Distro: Kubuntu Hardy (soon to be dual-booting with Kubuntu Intrepid) Ubuntu interests: I like helping out with bugs, and I'm interested in learning how to package debs for Ubuntu/Debian. I'm also starting work on a full-featured Twitter client called Tweek that I hope the world will love. I run "bug jams" periodically, in which I explain to people the very basics of doing bug triage. As I get more experienced myself, I'll be passing that along to others as well. non-Ubuntu interests: I love watching or playing hockey (anybody need a rusty goalie?), brewing beer, playing in the SCA <<a href="http://scademo.com" target="_blank">http://scademo.com</a>> Plans for world domination: Our LoCo is already one of the top-ranked groups in 5-a-day <<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day</a>> but I'd like to see that grow. Recently an inspired <a href="http://kubuntu-de.org" target="_blank">kubuntu-de.org</a> group flew past us in the rankings. I want to reclaim first place in convincing fashion, but I also want to encourage other groups to participate too. Being king of the hill just isn't much fun when nobody is trying to knock you down. :-) -- Wolfger <a href="http://wolfger.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">http://wolfger.wordpress.com/</a> My 5 today: #90080 (macchanger), #150557 (linux-source-2.6.20), #75818 (linux-source-2.6.15), #68329 (pbuilder), #185480 (octave3.0) Do 5 a day - every day! <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day</a> -- ubuntu-us-mi mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-us-mi@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-us-mi@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-mi" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-mi</a> </blockquote></div></div></div> -- Kevin DuBois <a href="mailto:kdub432@gmail.com" target="_blank">kdub432@gmail.com</a> PGP Key fingerprint = 80CF 7C1D 0A1C BE03 2203 95B6 1515 C3DC B6BE 7E88 -- ubuntu-us-mi mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-us-mi@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-us-mi@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-mi" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-mi</a> </blockquote></div> -- R.L.Hogan
