(For those receiving on LUG mailing lists - may be of interest to the Ubuntu users among you; the rest may safely ignore if you wish.) Hello all! Now that the semester is wrapping up for those in the group who are students, everyone has a brief lull between major holidays, and before we launch ourselves into 2008, I think it's time we brought our heads together again to hash out the next steps in the direction of our team. Therefore, we will be having a meeting on IRC this THURSDAY, at 19:30 CST (7:30 PM, for those of you who don't speak 24-hr clock), in #ubuntu-minnesota on Freenode. For those of you not already familiar with IRC, there are instructions for many popular clients available on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat. Additionally, if you have any trouble understanding those, just go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MinnesotaTeam and click on the link labelled "Web Client" on the line containing "IRC - irc://irc.freenode.net/#ubuntu-us-mn, or [WWW] Web Client" under "Resources". This will take you straight to our channel, where you can either participate from within your browser, or get help setting up a desktop client. You can add any items you would like discussed to the agenda at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MinnesotaTeam/MeetingAgenda. This is a time to check in for any progress on previously mentioned items, hopefully talk about some plans for an Installfest in collaboration with TCLUG, and start pinning down details on the major initiatives we want to persue for the first quarter of 2008. - Tony Yarusso Ubuntu Minnesota, Team Contact
