Wow, just reread my email.. that wasn't worded correctly. I did, in fact, mean to ask if you have been on the PA LoCo website. The FOSSCON website was only meant to mention the conference, not our team! Thanks for the cleanup JonathanD! :-) Luke <div class="gmail_quote">On Jul 11, 2012 2:23 PM, "Jonathan Simpson" <<a href="mailto:jonathand@fossevents.org">jonathand@fossevents.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi Thomas, <a href="http://ubuntupennsylvania.org/" target="_blank">http://ubuntupennsylvania.org/</a> is the site Luke was referencing, I think. It covers more than just fosscon :) As for IRC, IRC is internet relay chat, a communications mechanism we use. The specific IRC network we use is known as freenode. IRC provides a realtime chat environment similar to many web based chats, but has been around for decades. You can find the ubuntu-us-pa channel (the IRC term for rooms) here: <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=ubuntu-us-pa" target="_blank">http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=ubuntu-us-pa</a> <<a href="http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=ubuntu-us-pa&uio=d4" target="_blank">http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=ubuntu-us-pa&uio=d4</a>> On 7/11/2012 2:13 PM, Thomas Corwin wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> I am from the New Castle area. Very close to the north western border of PA. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend FOSSCON, as it is in the opposite corner of the state. I couldn’t find any information on what has already been done, just information on registering for the August event. If it's not a bother, could you tell me what I could do to spread Ubuntu in the community? Last question (sorry), What is IRC? Hope to hear from you soon!

Where are you from? The team is spread across the state. I am from the Williamsport area. The best way to sum up a LoCo is that we are an outreach program to get Ubuntu into our local communities. In August, some of us are going to attend FOSSCON in Philadelphia (<a href="http://fosscon.org" target="_blank">fosscon.org</a> <<a href="http://fosscon.org" target="_blank">http://fosscon.org</a>>). Have you visited the website? There are lots of pictures and more information on what we have already done as a team. Feel free to join the IRC channel anytime #ubuntu-us-pa. Hope to meet you at one of the upcoming events!
