At the last Ubuntu meeting, 6/23/10, Jonny Nguyen and I were the only attendants. For me it was one of the most beneficial I have attended. We talked about programming and I got a lot of useful information, and I was programming before he was born. That is community. <br> <br>I am working on a web based project and have received a lot of help from this group by simply asking questions. That is community. <br><br>I have successfully tested my project on Amazon Web Services. Just getting it moved to AWS was quite a project and I have learned a lot. If anyone wants to do that I would be willing to help. That is community.<br> <br>I have volunteered at our church to help with their computer facilities. They have a problem disposing with obsolete computers. They don't want to have to buy the licenses to install Windows to give the computers away. I suggested Ubuntu. Their reaction was "...what is that?" They had heard the word but didn't know what it was. Their professional consultant supported my recommendation and suggested they install Mint as it was closer to Windows. They have done so and it is working fine.<br> <br>Next meeting, 7/21/10, Holiday Inn Sports Bar, 7:00 pm??? Let's get together and talk about what we are doing useful and how we can help each other and the rest of the city.<br><br>Dan H.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"> On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 10:02 PM, Daniel VanStone <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:webmaster@catcodesigns.net">webmaster@catcodesigns.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> What do I want in a LoCo?<br> <br> I believe what everyone has basically said so far is all to the same<br> tune.
