[ubuntu-us-nm] What a morning

[DThomas at metrocourt.state.nm.us]

So I finally felt confidant enough to apply for Ubuntu Membership and 
added my name to the list last month. Yesterday like a bolt from the blue 
it was announced that a Community Counsel meeting would take place on the 
15th at 11:00 UTC that’s 5:00am in good ol’ New Mexico. So with less than 
24 hours notice I was able to let my Local LoCo know what was up ( A big 
thanks goes to Eric Krieger for alerting me ). This morning I was up 
bright and early had my cheering section in attendance ( again thanks to 
Eric ,Chris, and to Mike for wishing me well, good friends you all are).
Needless to say I and the other applicants got to be there when the whole 
process of how you obtain membership was changed, lucky us. Looks like we 
will have to wait till the region we live in has it’s new regional 
community council meeting. I personally think that regional Community 
Councils are a great idea and as Eric put it this morning Ubuntu is just 
experiencing “growing pains” and this type of evolution was bound to 
happen, but it sure would have been nice to know before my 4:30am wake up 
call.
Ubuntu is growing in leaps and bounds and more people than ever are 
applying for membership, LoCo’s are growing too. So the fact that we need 
Regional Community Councils and LoCo Community Councils to help us govern 
all that is going on is such a good sign I can’t help but feel a real 
since of accomplishment.
It just looks like I got to wait a little longer for membership.
