First off we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the great people who have joined this team, and although I started it, without them, there would be no application in front of you now, nor would there be for a very long time.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The US-Pennsylvania LoCo Team was established in March by freelancer317 (Bret Fledderjohn) with the assistance of Vorian (Ohio Team Contact). Since that time, we have grown to 51 direct members on Launchpad. We have also established strong bonds with active LUGs, had four successful events, and are building several ongoing projects and events which will not only spread the word about Ubuntu, but also (in many cases) will help make our local communities better places.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Since our establishment, our forum has been one of the most active of the US LoCo Teams trailing only Ohio and the NE Regional Team in the total number of posts. </p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">We are in the process of setting up redundancies in the administration of the team so that we are prepared for growth without the fear of a setback by losing one key individual.</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Our links are as follows:</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><a href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PennsylvaniaTeam/ApprovalApplication"></a></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Our application page is <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PennsylvaniaTeam/ApprovalApplication">http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PennsylvaniaTeam/ApprovalApplication</a><br>Our wiki home page is <a href="http://www.meetlinux.com/">http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PennsylvaniaTeam<br>http://www.meetlinux.com</a><a href="http://www.meetlinux.com/"> </a>is our website.</p> Our Forum is <a href="http://pennsylvania.ubuntuforums.org/">http://pennsylvania.ubuntuforums.org</a> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Finally, our IRC channel is #ubuntu-pennsylvania</p><br><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Here's a quick overview.  It may be too wordy, but it should work.<br></p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br> </p> <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>- Bret
