I’m an Ubuntu Developer Summit local!
April 28th, 2012 by pleia2
I have been to four Ubuntu Developer Summits (UDS), and at all of them I found the advice of local Ubuntu contributors to be very valuable to my visit, the shining example of which was the culmination of being downtown in a city and having the support of the Hungarian LoCo team while we were […]

On Thursday night I hosted the typical Ubuntu California release party at Thirsty Bear Brewing Company in downtown San Francisco. We had… A thirsty pangolin! A hungry penguin! A guy in a Fedora shirt (hi Jeff!)! And lots of people having fun! All told we probably had 20 people who came and went throughout the […]

On February 5th several people from the Ubuntu California team headed over to Redwood City for dinner with Ubuntu-loving attendees from the Linaro Connect conference.

I spent last weekend at the the Southern California Linux Expo. I flew down to Los Angeles Thursday evening. Friday morning I gave my Ubucon talk on Getting Involved with Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Hour, SCALE 10x and Ubuntu User Days
January 12th, 2012 by pleia2
Last night I hosted the monthly San Francisco Ubuntu Hour. We had a last minute change of venue due to the coffee shop we meet in deciding to close early without warning (ah, the joys of local small businesses), but fortunately we were able to use the lobby one door over and people managed to […]
