Good morning! I had a great time at the meet-up [1] last night at the Thirsty Bear. It was great to meet you, Lyz. I hope all the other attendees had a good time too. Trip reports are encouraged. Thank you Mark for taking those pictures near the end. I would appreciate it if you would post a link to the list when you get the pictures uploaded.
I hope other people in other parts of California might be inspired to pick a restaurant and host more informal meet-ups like this one. Even if there are not many other LoCo team members in your immediate vicinity, just choosing a date, time & location might encourage people (like myself) to consider taking a road trip to visit you. Cheers, Grant Bowman https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoFAQ My country is too big to have single meet-ups. What do I do? We recommend that you encourage localised groups to meet up. So, as an example, in the UK LoCo team, there are proposed meet-ups in the West Midlands, Northwest, South etc. This allows local Ubuntu users to meet together. We always recommend that these local teams are part of the country or state wide LoCo team. So, in the example of the UK local groups, they are all part of ubuntu-uk. More details on this are in the LoCoTeamHowto. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto Regional Meetings In the vast majority of countries the country is geographically too large for there to be a single meeting that everyone can attend. With this in mind, we really recommend that regional meetings are organised. These regional sub-groups are organised so that it is geographically easier for people to attend the meetings. These sub-groups can also advocate Ubuntu to people in that specific area. Importantly, all regional groups should be a part of the bigger Loco team. So as an example, the Northwest regional team in the UK team should be part of ubuntu-uk. As such, everyone is in the same larger LoCo team (e.g. ubuntu-uk) but certain groups of members are in regional sub-groups. It is recommended that you have a 'Meetings' page on your wiki pages in which members can create regional meeting pages with details of where and when people will meet.
