[Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu meeting.

Tue Oct 20 04:29:30 UTC 2015

Wow - Che's Ubuntu event is listed on Corvallis's events calendar page, and
everything... WTG Che, and nicely written too.  Unfortunately some VIPs are
flying in from San Jose, so I'll have to miss this Thursday's event, as
I'll be out all day.

Wishing you all the best, on creating a new LoCo Ubuntu community in
Corvallis.  Again great! job Che.

Cody Jim >
I think Che has come up with a great! idea. Perhaps we should get something
posted in Salem's Statesman Journal, regarding the release of Ubuntu 15.10
for next months meeting on the 6th or 20th of November.

Plus I think, we should all post something in our respective local
newspapers, during every Ubuntu release (biannually), to help grow the LoCo
Ubuntu communities...  Sort of a Biannual Ubuntu Blitz Campaign... ;-)
Just thinking out-loud here, and throwing some ideas (Che helped spark) out
there to the community.

ciao for now
Phil. N
