[CoLoCo] NoCo LoCo

[Brian Fromme]

Hi,

I'd like to make a presence for CoLoCo in Fort Collins.  I see it as a sub-group of CoLoCo.  I'm sure there are folks up here that would be willing to help me once I get it going.

First, I presume I need some approval from the CoLoCo leadership.  Nick?  Thoughts, comments, etc?  I'd like to suggest we call it NoCo LoCo, a part of CoLoCo.  I'd have new members sign up on the CoLoCo site.

For a first meeting, I'd like to present on Ubuntu app developer and what that means.  In general, I'd like the northern portion of CoLoCo to start with a healthy development community and then branch into ways we can present Ubuntu to non-developers.  Again, thoughts and comments welcome.

 thanks,

 Brian

Hey Brian -

I think this is a great idea - I'm not sure what the structure is for setting something like that up - ultimately, we'd sort of wrap you into the leadership of the group and split a proportion of our resources ( mainly CDs and event supplies ) towards you for whatever you might have planned.  Anyone else have any comments / questions / ideas / etc. ?

Cheers,

David

Thanks, Brian. I like your developer focus, and that's a good place to start!

If there are specific kinds of help you're looking for, posting here is a good plan.

If you're checking in about about "approval", "structure", etc, I'll just say don't let anything get in your way, and you've got it right - get people to sign up via the launchpad list: https://launchpad.net/~coloradoteam And use your pick of the http://coloco.ubuntu-rocks.org/ site (which still needs a new maintainer, I think - right Joey?), or the wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ColoradoTeam to put notices up and organize things.

At any rate, COLOCO is eager for this kind of energy - it is what we need to remain an official group, and having events beyond release parties are crucial. Run with the ball!

Cheers,

I actually will be maintaining the ubuntu-rocks.org stuff. Working on
getting it all migrated slowly, but should soon be up before to long.

As a benefit from attending Ohio LinuxFest, I got a look at what other states do here. Ohio has set up several "ReLoCos" (really local communities). It seems like exactly the model we would want to model. I believe the Ohio LoCo wiki page has details on how they've set this up.

I tend to miss a lot of the CoLoCo happenings due to my aversion to driving to Denver. I'd love to see some events in FC.

Thanks, all, for the great dialog.  I'll start planning a first event where I present Canonical's new Developer approach.  I've also got some ideas for enlisting some local businesses, though I imagine that will be more challenging in practice than in my head.

I'll keep you updated on my progress.  Feel free to throw out more ideas when they come your way.

 cheers,

 Brian
