I would like to amend a correction to last evening's minutes. I incorrectly introduced our newest member as Ryan, when in fact his name is Roman.
To clarify, there is a Ryan who is a member of our LoCo however he was absent. So I do in fact want to mention that Roman was in attendance during yesterday's meeting. That he has been a long time user of various flavors of Linux, including a long time user of Ubuntu. Please welcome Roman, to Ubuntu Salem Hour. Sorry about not clarifying your name last evening, and thanks for bringing it to my attention. Ciao Phil.
