<div dir="ltr"><div>I listened to Walter's talk on gathering LoCo support this evening - great presentation Walter, and thanks.<br></div><div><br>In keeping with Walter's Loco support modus operandi - During last Tuesday's monthly SMUG (Salem Macintosh, Users Group) meeting, I spoke with one of our members, Jim Campbell. Jim has been running Ubuntu for some time now, and was glad to hear there is a LoCo here in Salem. In fact Jim is this Saturdays teacher for SMUG, and will be talking about running OOo (OpenOffice.org) and LibreOffice on a Mac. Yep - sometimes we due depart from the norm...So please keep it a secret, and don't tell Apple...LOL.<br><br></div><div>For those of you with Apple gadgets who live around the Salem area, SMUG meets every second Tuesday of each month (except August), and sometimes the following Saturday at: <u>Comfort Suites Airport (630 Hawthorne SE, Salem, OR</u>). Anyone interested in knowing more about OOo/LibreOffice can attend this Saturday's free class.<br><br></div><div>SMUG Programs - are held second Tuesday of each month at 6:45pm to about 8:30pm.<br></div><div>SMUG Classes - are held the Saturday following Tuesday's program, and start at 10:00am to noon.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Hope soliciting Ubuntu's email list on SMUG's behalf, does not ruffle anyone's feathers - my thinking is since I'm soliciting SMUG on Ubuntu's behalf, it's kind of tit for tat.

<br>
</span>Wonderful idea! I will do everything I can to help! Also don't forget<br>
that Unix people played a part in Linux, so include the Mac folks,<br>
too. They might not realize what they have under the hood. And also<br>
that Ubuntu runs on it.<br>

<br>
</span>I might try to organize something for Eugene. If someone can also<br>
organize in Salem and in Portland that would be great. The more the<br>
merrier!<br>
