This may assist in picking up where the weekly mailings left off. The current intent behind the production is to provide a means for airing reports from ReLoCo leads so that sharing across the 7th most populous state of the United States can happen. The news miscellany is presently shared with [[http://www.lisnews.org/podcast|a podcast at LISNews.org]] and will hopefully begin to diverge in the future. |

| Line 69: | Line 97: |
| {*} Evaluation of the [[http://freedomtoaster.org|Freedom Toaster project]] may be worthwhile to help increase the reach of Ubuntu outside Ohio's urban metros where bandwidth may be less than optimal. Even with the reorganization into ReLoCo units there still remains questions of distances to travel for distributing discs outside Ohio's urban metros. This would improve team outreach into all of Ohio's 88 counties. | {*} Improving team communication, and cross-ReLoCo work ( Co-Ubuntu Hours! ) |

| {*} In light of resistance to the infrastructure project detailed above, efforts might be restricted to instead one or two test cases so that the team can build credibility with agencies relative to what we represent. Prime opportunities for this would include partnering with a civil township located outside the limits of one of the core cities of a ReLoCo metro area. Civil townships are one of the smallest units of government in Ohio and present the best opportunity for experimentation due to the lack of entrenched bureaucracies in them. While aiding a civil township with transitioning to GNUCash would be not possible due to the legacy uniform accounting network established by the Ohio Auditor of State, other possible needs should be assessed and potential recommendations to use free software discussed. | {*} Recruiting new Ohioans! {*} Working and joining forces with [[[http://www.meetup.com/Ubuntu-Stop|Ubuntu Stop]] (a meetup.com group) and other currently disparate organizations in the state. |
