Hi David, I want to echo what Joe said. There are many ways to participate online.
I recommend trying an Ubuntu Hour ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour ) if there is no group near you. This came up several times during UDS in Dallas, TX last month. Regional meetings are also encouraged. ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto#Regional Meetings ) Maybe some one time events can help get things started in your area. I would like to attend. I also just updated the list of Groups in the Central Valley. There aren't many yet, which is a great opportunity for you to represent the Ubuntu community in your area. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UserGroupContacts/Groups Cheers, Grant Bowman https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 4:05 PM, Joe Smith <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey David! > Good to hear from you :) > There are a few people up in your area who are also passionate about Ubuntu. > I encourage you to follow along with this mailing list, as it's one of the > primary means we have for planning events and getting organized.
