[Ubuntu-us-ok] Newsletter and stuff

[Duane Hinnen]

I think this sounds like a great idea. I am happy to see such a good
response. I think a talk on Ubuntu followed by an install fest is a great
idea. I think this would be something that some Tulsa members might enjoy.
Maybe we could organize a car full of Tulsa members to come to the meet up.
I have a presentation that I have been working on. It is posted on the wiki,
on the projects and ideas page. I think this might be the motivation I have
needed to finish it:)

Any LoCo members recieving this EmaIl who are interested in this meet up
please Email me, either directly or through the mailing list. If  you live
in Tulsa and might be interested in a car pool to OKC note that in the
email. Also we should probally have a meeting on
irc.freenode.net(#ubuntu-us-ok). If their is a paticular time you wont
be available this
week for a meeting let me know and i will consider this when scheduling the
meeting. I will allow a couple of days to recieve emails and post the
meeting on Tuesday (through the wiki and mailing list).

This definetly sounds like if we can get our ducks in a row  we could put on
a really great event. i look forward to hearing from all of you.
