Hello Nevada, I just had a great conversation in #lvlug using Freenode IRC and wanted to follow up and introduce myself. I've been on the [email protected] mail list since February getting a feel for the group's activities. While I don't get to Nevada https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NevadaTeam as often as I would like I am interested in attending a meeting sometime.
As many of you are probably aware, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx is about to be released on April 29th, 2010. The Long Term Support versions come every two years. This picture helps explain it better than words can. http://www.ubuntu.com/products/ubuntu/release-cycle Many activities take place around each release. Global Jam https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam activities just wrapped up and release party planning is under way. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseParty Ubuntu Open Week is an IRC event in #ubuntu-classroom on Freenode designed to give people a way to learn more about Ubuntu and is being planned right now. This will take place during the week of Mon, May 3 - Fri, May 7, 2010. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek My personal participation focuses on the California Team and local linux user groups in the San Francisco Bay Area but all Local Communities (LoCo as Ubuntu calls them) share interests. So I am pleased to be able to participate here and extend an invitation to visit our LoCo if you are curious. I have copied this email to our California mail list. I am happy to participate and do what I can to help out and support all efforts of the existing Las Vegas team and those willing and able to step forward in Nevada (and else where) to organize events, large and small. Planning an event is less difficult than it sounds. This would be an especially good time to take a look if you have any interest at all.
