Fwd: OpenWeek Call for Instructors / Sessions

Thu Sep 8 01:48:29 UTC 2011

Thank You James for the kind words.... I had hope for even more people 
at the Global Jam but I guess a few people missed it and after all it 
was Labor Day Weekend but the good news is it seems we had one of the 
most kicking and fun Global Jam events in the U.S. or at the very least 
the West Coast.

We will be having more events and I know in addition to you there are a 
few people in Salem and Keizer who would like to do some stuff out 
there. I plan on trying to get something going out there like a Ubuntu 
Hour and I turn to the Ubuntu Oregon members in Salem and surrounding 
areas to help me get something setup but either way we will be having 
more events in Portland Metro Area including the Oneiric Release Party 
and some Ubuntu Hours. Also I'm working closely with various Tech Event 
organizers to ensure that we have booths at everything that hits Oregon 
and I would love to have more and more Ubuntu Oregon members participate 
in these events.

OSCON and Open Source Bridge next year should be fun and I hope you will 
come!

- Benjamin Kerensa, Oregon Team Lead
