Roadmap
State LUG Collaboration: Contact and pooling of resources with the state LUGs to promote events and further Ubuntu as an alternative method of computing using desktop, server, and mobile versions.
- We have already established a relationship with:
[http://plug.phoenix.az.us Phoenix LUG(plugaz)] State wide Barcamp
[http://asulug.org/ ASU LUG] Intrepid Ibex Installfest & State wide Barcamp
[http://www.devrylinux.org DeVry LUG(Phoenix)] Server
We plan to further expand our relations with the following: [http://www.lugy.net LUG of Yavapai], [http://www.tfug.org/ tfug(Tucson)], [http://www.aztcs.org/ Tucson Computer Society],and [http://www.flaglug.org/ LUNA(Flagstaff LUG)].
- We have already established a relationship with:
State Wide BarCamp: It is our plan to co-host an Open Source Conference in Phoenix in the latter part of 2008. We are actively advocating with the state LUGs to help in the co-hosting and planning of this event. [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/OpenSourceConference Planning Page for Conference]
To date, [http://plug.phoenix.az.us Phoenix LUG(plugaz)] and [http://asulug.org/ ASU LUG] have expressed their interest in working with our team to plan and execute this event. They are also providing contact with some of the other Phoenix LUGs.
This is an event that we are in the early stages of planning, but this should help to advocate for Ubuntu, Open Source Education, and serve as a milestone event to help cement relations between our LoCo and the state LUGs.
Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Release & Installfests: Planning for the next Ubuntu release, Intrepid Ibex 8.10, using our Hardy Release Party and Installfest experience to improve our success. Areas to concentrate on include location, advertising(print and radio), and flyer distribution. [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArizonaTeam/IntrepidPlanning Intrepid Ibex Planning Page]
We have already made contact with [http://asulug.org/ ASU LUG]. The president of the LUG is in favor of combining our two installfests into one. The LUG is located on the Arizona State University campus and can offer a central location, dedicated rooms, hard wired internet, and a large pool of students to attract to the event. This should help make the event(s) larger and more successful.
Local Ubuntu Advocacy: Continue to burn and distribute Ubuntu CDs for release parties, installfests, and for team members to distribute to family, friends, neighbors, etc.
