[Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu meeting.

Tue Oct 20 21:01:04 UTC 2015

Thanks Phil N, glad to help out. The "Ubuntu Blitz Campaign..." is a great
idea especially for the LTS release.

I'm looking for flyers to print out to save time, we have a few Ubuntu ones
in mind but does anyone know where we can find up to date system76 and
zareason flyers?
