"Ubuntu Oregon: Progress Can be Made" on ubuntu-us.org

Hi everyone,

Inspired by the post from Benjamin Kerensa to this list, I asked him
to write up an Oregon progress story for the ubuntu-us.org blog.

The result is here:

Thanks bkerensa!

OpenStack Conference Info for Ubuntu MA Team

Hi Ubuntu MA Team,

OpenStack/Rackspace will be holding a conference in October:
http://www.openstack.org/blog/2011/09/openstack-conference-registration-are-you-coming

OpenStack's Community Manager is very friendly to the Ubuntu Community 
and in fact sponsored some t-shirts for our Global Jam. I think it would 
be very likely that he would be able to make it possible for some Ubuntu 
MA people to be there and I know Canonical has a handful of people going.

Their Community Manager's name is Stephen Spector and his e-mail is 
Stephen.Spector (at) OpenStack (dot) org

Best of Luck!

Ubuntu Oregon: Progress Update

Hi LoCo Council & Ubuntu Americas,

I wanted to provide a update on Ubuntu Oregon for your review:

Ubuntu Oregon had gone pretty silent for a number of months due to what 
I believe was a lack of motivation from anyone to lead the team. I 
personally was disappointed about the lack of events and during OSCON I 
took the lead and have been working hard to bring things together. 
Ubuntu Oregon had multiple members at OSCON and worked with the Ubuntu 
Washington Team to man a booth every day of the expo and we also pulled 
off a popular Ubuntu Global Jam and had approximately 15+ people in 
attendance. Myself and one other member ran a Ubuntu Booth at PuppetConf 
this entire past week which went very well and we distributed nearly 50 
Desktop CD's and 30 Server CD's and Four Bags of Ubuntu Lanyards.

Some Improvements in Ubuntu Oregon:

    * Ubuntu Oregon's IRC grew from 4 users to 26 since the end of July
      of this year
    * Ubuntu Oregon holds regular monthly meetings on IRC and had not
      done this in the past
    * Ubuntu Oregon is working to help revive Salem LUG (Salem Area
      Ubuntu Users)
    * Ubuntu Oregon will have someone holding Ubuntu Classes at FreeGeek
      (Myself)
    * Ubuntu Oregon has giving three talks at other related user groups
      since July

I think Ubuntu Oregon is making great progress and we are reaching out 
to make connections with the people at OSU OSL (Oregon State University 
Open Source Labs) and I personally am trying to encourage team members 
in rural areas to scout for Ubuntu Users and hold regional meetup's when 
possible while providing them with resources to do such.

Notably there are still things that need to be worked on and improved 
but I do think we are moving quickly in the right direction and it is my 
hope that the Oregon LoCo will grow so robust that it will never need to 
be revived again.

And for those who likes photos here is a group photo of Canonical 
Employees with Ubuntu Oregon Team from this past week at PuppetConf:

Any feedback, questions or comments are appreciated.

Interested in writing for ubuntu-us.org?

Hi everyone,

Over the past year or so the burden of writing articles for
ubuntu-us.org has been on Amber of the North Carolina LoCo and myself.
We're both quite busy so that means the site isn't updated much!

Have interest in writing an article for it from time to time? Want to
talk about the awesome work your LoCo is doing? Have an idea for an
article you think I should write? Know of an awesome wiki page that
you think other LoCos should know about? Please let me know and we'll
get you set up as a contributor.

Also, we still run planet.ubuntu-us.org, so if you're a member of a US
LoCo team that has an rss feed but isn't aggregated there let me know
and we'll get your team's feed added.
