I've got the Google Calendar tied in, love the idea; that's an easy way to ensure we're on the same page. My wife & I (plus maybe our little one) will try to make the release party. Can't promise anything at this point though; will have to wait until the details are more solid on both ends, mine and the groups'. Good meeting you all though. Songbird, you're in Burnsville as well? We might have to meet up.

One thing we left unresolved was frequency of future meetings. Regardless of the specifics, we all felt that they should be a) regular, and b) frequent.  Proposals range anywhere from every two weeks to every two months.  I'm going to propose that we have a second one in the two-to-three week range from this one, so that we have time to reserve space and pull together other details for our PARTY coming up quicker than you might think in October.  I'll start collecting availability soon, but not in this e-mail - I'm still pondering the most efficient way to do so (Google Calendar was proposed - thoughts?).  After that we may space them out a little more, but we need to at least get another in well before the 18th, which is really soon, so we're kinda constrained there. Anyway, lots of fun and cool projects to start in on, so we have our work (and play) cut out for us! - - Tony -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG9MvtKlAIzV4ebxoRAh0lAJ9XVjE003yNYFy3XNXyHN79N4R7QwCgjKhT pmLrPliMRSTOwj3JU+YMmR0= =RGbm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-us-mn mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-us-mn@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-us-mn@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-mn">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-mn</a> </blockquote></div> -- Jordan Peacock <a href="mailto:hewhocutsdown@gmail.com"> hewhocutsdown@gmail.com</a> <a href="http://hewhocutsdown.blogspot.com">hewhocutsdown.blogspot.com</a>
