| ## Things Ubuntu-specific are great, but general Linux goings-on are good to, to an extent. ## We don't need to replicate Digg & Slashdot, but certain things are of special interest. ## Just pulling one example from my memory, the story about Indiana schools piloting ## a classroom Linux deployment, a portion of which was Ubuntu, are good. Ubuntu ## release reviews are also common items in this section. |

| ## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth. ## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here. ## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so. |

Maryland LoCo Team State Tour Info
The Maryland LoCo Team has started a new project called "The State Tour". The goal of this project is to go to a different parts of the state that are not close enough to our group's center to participate in person. Currently the plan is once a month they will visit an area that is 45 minutes or further from their current meeting spot in Columbia, MD. They will go out and meet the people that are interested in Ubuntu and FOSS in different places. They hope to set a starting point for Ubuntu sub-teams in the areas we visit.
The first Tour stop will be in Finksburg, MD at the local library on December 5th from 9:30am until 11:30am. Among the plans for the visit are:
- The main presentation about Ubuntu
- A few demo machines so people can touch and feel an ubuntu machine
- Free Ubuntu CDs
- If a person brings a flash drive with 1gb or more of free space we'll create a LiveUSB disk for them!
- And the best part, Meeting New Friends!

Tutorial of the Week
When the trend is to always have shinier and more interactive installs, some like them minimal, because they use older machines, netbooks, laptops configured for speed.. You can tweak and adjust Linux distributions to fit your own needs, that is one of the magic features Ubuntu (and other distributions) offers.
TheShiv (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=691298) started a thread this spring, and others have taken over since then: "HowTo Achieve "Ubuntu-Desktop-Minimal". If you skip the past few negative comments, the thread is full of useful informations, suggestions, scripts and points of view. For karmic tweaks, please reach the end of the thread.
Enjoy !
