[Ubuntu Chicago] Fwd: ALL TEAMS: Speaker Representatives

[Rich Johnson]

OK, give me at least 1 but not more than 3. Respond to this list, and I will 
take the top 3 and add them to the wiki page. Bare in mind the talks will be 
heavily developer orientated as well as community orientated. The community 
portion is the easiest to talk about. From the developer standpoint, you 
should have at least a basic understanding of how we do some coding in 
Ubuntu, you should know packaging, forget about Launchpad don't talk about 
it, unless absolutely necessary. I am not one to advocate proprietary stuff, 
but you all know that already, so no need to try and force more glue from the 
horse. Also, if you know the community side fairly well and not so much the 
dev side, that is OK, as with a list of 3, it will be easy to switch out. I 
would like to get at least 1 or 2 in the Chicago land area, and possibly one 
from downstate a bit. With that said, in no specific order, here are my 
suggestions:

* Me of course :)
* Michael D. Stemle Jr. (manchicken)
* Freddy Martinez & Chad Sutton

Now, just because we have these 3, or 4 in my case, because after hearing Chad 
give a talk about Ubuntu at Flourish, he has what it takes and gave an 
outstanding talk! He knew how to target and fill in the gaps which was great. 
OK, just because of the 3 or 4 I listed doesn't mean everyone doesn't have 
the chance to talk. You all have the chance to give a speech, but these 
members will be initial point of contacts. When a talk is requested, we can 
bring it to the list asking if anyone is interested. Sound fair to everyone? 
I want everyone to be able to have the opportunity to stand up front for 
Ubuntu Chicago! That means you too Matt (redDEAD) with you killer fohawk! ;p

Hi all,

I often get emailed with requests for Ubuntu / Kubuntu / Edubuntu etc
speakers for different conferences around the world, and I often
recommend people I know from different LoCo teams.

I would like every team to discuss who are the best public speakers and
most available for these kinds of talks, and add their details to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamSpeakers - this way we can have a big
list of speakers in the Ubuntu community.

Before you add your speakers, bear the following points in mind:

 - Don't add more than three speakers from each team, preferably only
one or two.

 - Work together as a team to decide who is the most available and best
speaker. Those of you with previous speaking experience are recommended
to be added to the list.

Thanks!

	Jono
