At the meeting discussion arose from liz
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/lyz
as to what the state needed for organizational purposes
she stated that we should look at California or Florida wiki
and try to emulate them (which is the current effort) and that
our state have meetings (like the one at UDS) and state IRC
meetings.

Let us please work together.

Our goal is to make Texas stronger without taking from any
Team or LoCo.

I have been organizing a statewide meeting which is open to all.


Texas Loco team needs state level organization

   1. Texas Loco Team
   2. Blueprints
   3. Texas Loco team needs state level org...

Texas has several regional teams but no central state-level team. The
various regional groups are trying to organize so they can become an
approved and official Loco Team. Organizational meeting to help plan
strategy as several members will be present in Dallas.

Whiteboard Edit whiteboard

State is waiting approval milestone has not been set I believe that a
secretary must step up and members need to have more voice on here as
well as in the Ubuntu forums.

We also need to be involved in the software.
It does not matter if it is the simplest of things like sending a bug
report.

or

If you know something special to trick your code or box.......

Share it.

I will be able to pass five rings and
one computer to be given away

If the current/recent changes to the wiki have ruffled some
feathers that was not intended. Change sometimes does so.

My only concern with the wiki is it gives a huge mention to a domain
that does not resolve"texas-ubuntu.org". And comments of a webmaster to
that domain.

Also resolving links to mailing list among other pages are not resolving.

Cordially,


Daniel Stone
