Howdy folks, I am a fairly recent addition to the group, and it seems that the group is just getting going and getting organised. I figured it may be useful to ping out an email with some ideas of stuff to do, and maybe some people can stand up and volunteer themselves.
So, here are some ideas for things that I think could be useful for the group to do: * Website. Get the website up and running. Would be nice for the website to match the look and feel of existing sites, and maybe we could work with another LoCo team to borrow their design. As an example, ubuntu-fr have a pretty nice site. Might be worth posting a message on loco-contacts to ask if anyone can send us a theme for the site. Naturally, it depends on what CMS is running the site. * Map. I think it is really important that we have a map of the UK and people can say where they are. This helps regional people to meet up and have a pint or six. I am sure there are little clusters of Ubuntu users in different parts of the UK. Again, other groups have made maps, so lets talk to them. * Events. There are quite a few possibilities for events. Not only do we have computer fairs across the country (see the Infopoint project (http://infopointproject.org/ for details of groups that demonstrate Linux at computer fairs). We could also organise sprints, hack-fests, installfests and more. :) * News. It would be nice to post UK Ubuntu news on the website. Y'know, details of schools moving to Open Source, interesting events with Ubuntu speakers and teams, success stories and more. :) Getting a LoCo team going is hard work, but I think if we all pull together we can make ubuntu-uk a real standard for LoCo teams. :) Thoughts?
