The group is open to everybody in the state with an interest in spreading and discussing Ubuntu.

November 2007: Installfest for Gutsy

Our first event was an installfest to celebrate the Gutsy release. We had some difficulty getting a location pinned down. This event was finally held as a session at BarCampLA and went moderately well even though no installation was actually done. BarCamps aren't conducive to events like this.

Leading up to this event, we were interviewed on a campus radio show about Ubuntu and Open Source.

May 2008: Release party for Hardy

June 2008: Presentation at the North Orange County Computer Club

photo from NOCCC presentation The North Orange County Computer Club asked us to give a presentation about Linux and Ubuntu. There were about 50 people in attendance and we handed out a number of CDs and business cards. The audience was mostly unaware of linux and open source in general, and seemed enthusiastic about the concept of Linux.

August 2008: Global Bug Jam

We had about 12 people participate in the first Global Bug Jam. We covered bugwork as well as care and feeding of GPG and it's usage. Another sentence?

August 2008: Presentation for the San Gabriel Valley Linux Users Group

November 2008: Release Party and Installfest for Intrepid

For our Intrepid release party, we decided to not only socialize with food, but also to hold an installfest and bug jam. We had nine people in attendance and we shared pizza, stories, and Armagetron.

February 2009: Booth and Global Bug Jam at the 2009 Southern California Linux Expo

Once again we had a booth at SCaLE. This weekend coincided with another Global Bug Jam, and we attempted to weave the two together with mixed results. The booth was great, we handed out about one-hundred-fifty CDs over the weekend, but the Bug Jam was a total flop.
