Announcements:

We had four new members join our Arizona Ubuntu Team last week, donchriscoe,
indigoshift, shaanM, and yamyogurt. Donchriscoe has used linux for a short
amount of time and has Ubuntu on two Dell machines. Donchriscoe also lives
in Flagstaff and we are seeing a growing population up there! Indigoshift
was the second person to introduce himself and he has been using Ubuntu for
about a year and a half, and has 4 Ubuntu machines, 3 Windows machines, and
2 Amigas machines. Idigoshift lives way down in Sahuarita, with is south of
Tucson. ShaanM uses Linux mainly for compiz fusion and lives in Scottsdale,
close to Cave Creek. And yamyogurt was not around when we were doing the
introductions for new members, so if you see him in the channel make sure
you welcome him to the team!

Make sure that everyone checks out [image: [WWW]] Cafe
Press<http://www.cafeopress.com/ubuntu_arizona/>for all the cool gear
with our logo on it! Its a great site and has some
awesome gear for our team.

Vorian is working on a new bot for the US Teams and it is looking like it
will be a good one with lots of new plug-ins for us to use.

Johnc4510 now has his blog syndicated to Ubuntu Planet [image: [WWW]] Ubuntu
Planet <http://planet.ubuntu.com/>. He had his first post to the planet on
Sunday and the syndication to the planet is a perk of Ubuntu Membership.

Summary of Team Meeting on August 12, 2007

First topic was the newsletter team, and I have to apologize to everyone, I
was absent. My router seems to not like my lap top or my PS3 for some
reason. Lately I haven't been able to connect to the internet and I am doing
the newsletter at work. Hopefully I will have it fixed soon and will be back
in the channel. Thank you for your patience.

The groups' server should be up and running here soon. DX said that the
CDROM should be installed last week, and since he wasn't in the chat we
believe that maybe something went wrong with it. John will be emailing him
about it to see what the tie up is.

We are still working hard to get Team Approval and all members that are
either new or have yet to do so, please look at the following links for our
Local Ubuntu Team. The first site [image: [WWW]] Team Approval
Outline<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/Teams/Approval_Outline/>is
where you can see the goals that our group needs to meet in order to
get
team approval from the national Ubuntu group. The second site [image:
[WWW]]Team Approval
Resources<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/Teams/Approval_Outline/Resources/>is
where you will find all the different areas we need people to
volunteer
to help get the local team ready for approval. Any help big or small would
be appreciated.

We are also working on getting CD's and informational flyers out to people
to spread the word about Ubuntu,
SloggerKhan<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SloggerKhan>is going to try and
have a prototype of the flyer ready by next week for the
whole team to look at, comment on and see if that is something we want to
use. And we are still in need of people to help burn CD's.

The Massachusetts Team is getting case badges together for all the US teams.
You can find them at [image: [WWW]] Case
Badges<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MassachusettsTeam/Projects/AluminiumCaseBadges/>.
If there is another 1000 commitments we can get the badges for $0.62 each
plus a $15 setup and postage fee. If we can get another 2500 commitments we
can get the badges for $0.34 plus the setup and postage fees. The team voted
for the badges and it passed 5 yes to 1 no. The members came up with $117 in
personal donations to purchase 300 computer badges.

Thank you for a great meeting and make sure you say hello to any new members
that show up in the channel! See you Sunday.
