Meeting in Arlington Texas 12-5-2009

[lucy]

Hello, My name is Lucy I was at the Arlington meeting Dec, 5th 
at The Coffee Haus Downtown, I believe the meeting was very informative
and even though, I had a " No Comment " opinion .
I did take notes and I did listen I observed the attendees and the body
language of those around me .
I was surprised at the attendance once we got started the crowd did
increase from 7 to 13 even the audience from the other side became
involved ( audio feed )  were listening in to those who had questions,
ideas, opinions, feedback, there focus was all on getting more answers
with bugs, and troubleshooting, more of, like a person to person
response.
Daniel Stone did good with having to speak about " How to adjust from
coming out of Windows to Ubuntu " The crowd was a mixture of new users
and experience users so this was to get info from both sides .
I don't believe that when you get a group together it is not solely
focused on " Resolving " it's more on 'Ideas to make it work " as a
story line " To be continued " in our next meeting .
It doesn't matter if your in a Dallas Team or not if your " Texan " your
Texan.
It pertains to everyone in general if you attended the Arlington and not
the Dallas meetings DOES not make you a jerk.
I believe no matter where you live all subjects pertain to one issue
it's Ubuntu/Linux if you have a problem report it to the right page and
results come at you from numerous sources and members who have
experience the problem already. 
As some people you can make a call to others to get an answer is really
an idea to consider.
To have a live person to walk you through the steps is a  good thing.
I want to say, My first Ubuntu meeting with other users was a great
experience for me and listening to others gave me an insight to what
these meeting can do for you instead of just going into chat .
There is no " I " in team but there is a " U " Ubuntu so let's make it
work for new and old a like.
We are all here to Learn " What can Ubuntu do for you? " 
Thank you
