R Cycle Goals
- ✓ Team Restructuring ✓ Change of LoCo governance to a distributed model
- Broke LoCo down into Smaller, more manageable "ReLoCos" based on geographical regions - Designated team leads for each ReLoCo.
✓ Increased Transparency in the Team x Weekly Mailings ✓ Regular Events - Started bi-weekly Ubuntu Hours with several ReLoCos, taking the opportunity to use Ubuntu in public
- and possibly recruit new users.
x Giving back to Ohio
We have it all of the goals that were marked as "critical". Weekly mailings fell off due to Paul's lack of time, and the programs involving the Ohio public infrastructure were met with resistance.
We plan to find a way to work these goals into future cycles without having them dragged along.

Looking Forward
