There isn't a lot to get involved with in Minneapolis except going to the meetings. The ways in which I have been able to contribute has been noting any issues and workarounds to Ubuntu on a blog. I participated in Ubuntu's weeklong irc classroom a while back and learned how to do bug triage. I don't have access to irc at work and don't have time at home to help. I try to submit detailed bug reports when I can along with following up with workarounds. A lot of times I can workaround my bug by reading other user suggested workarounds. I have spent time at <a href="https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu">https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu</a> trying to help answer user questions. I never got involved but Ubuntu Forums are also very helpful <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/">http://ubuntuforums.org/</a> Let me know if anyone else can think of other ways. -- Jeff Rasmussen GPG public key 0x9686C12F Sent from Minneapolis, MN, United States
