Objectives

Short Term

Gain a critical mass of members and begin having semi-regular meetings, at least one of which should be of the in-person variety.

Long Term

This group will hopefully serve many purposes, including but not limited to:

  • Socializing with other Ubuntu users from the area
  • As an interface between members, Ubuntu, local LUGs and therefore Linux at large, and the local community and the people and organizations that entails
  • Education, both of our members and of outsiders about what Ubuntu can do for them, and how to use it more effectively
  • Advocacy of Ubuntu to the state, and helping get Ubuntu usage more established in homes, schools, non-profits, and businesses
  • Localisation, particularly in terms of artwork and themes in any way specific to the culture and region of Minnesota
  • Aiding in translation efforts in Rosetta for common second languages besides English in the state, such as Finnish, German, Norwegian, Hmong, Somali, Ojibwe, and Lakota

  • As a distribution center for ShipIt and burned CDs, for more efficient postage

  • As an uplink to coordination with other US teams and around the world
  • Any other ideas you wish to add!

Possible activities

  • Distribute Ubuntu CDs and literature at the 2008 State Fair
