Being a US Teams mentor, I have a special desire to see this project succeed. Our goal is to have an approved team in every US state by the year 2008. We still need teams in the following states: Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, North Dakota and West Virginia. If you are an Ubuntu user, and live in one of these states, please get in contact with our team. You can join us in the IRC Channel #ubuntu-us, the server is Freenode, and we will help you get all the resources for your team set up.
What kind of resources? Ubuntu provides each team with its own IRC Channel to have meetings and hang out in. You also get a mailing list for your team. This enables you to send out emails to all team members at one time, and also allows them to respond. Teams also get a Launchpad page, a team wiki page, and a team forum page. These pages are customizable to allow teams to present what they are working on. When a member joins a team in Launchpad they get their own personal wiki page to set up and show who they are, and what they are doing to help advocate Ubuntu.
As you can see, Ubuntu generously provides your team with everything you need to get your team up and running with the best resources available. And the US Teams Project will provide guidance and mentors to help you become a successful advocate for Ubuntu. Our teams work hard to advance the idea of Ubuntu and Open Source, while at the same time providing a unique social atmosphere of fun and family morals. You won’t find a better community than the one you will get by joining the US LoCo Teams Project.
Whether your state has an existing team, or is still in need of one, please consider joining our group. Below I will provide some links to the AZ Team so you can get an idea of what our team is working on.
