[Ubuntu Oregon] Global Ubuntu Day campaign.

[Phil N]

I would like to amend a correction to last evening's minutes. I incorrectly
introduced our newest member as Ryan, when in fact his name is Roman.

To clarify, there is a Ryan who is a member of our LoCo however he was
absent.  So I do in fact want to mention that Roman was in attendance
during yesterday's meeting. That he has been a long time user of various
flavors of Linux, including a long time user of Ubuntu.

Please welcome Roman, to Ubuntu Salem Hour.

Sorry about not clarifying your name last evening, and thanks for bringing
it to my attention.

Ciao
Phil. N
