February is shaping up to be a more active month.<\/p>\n<p>I rang in February in Baltimore, where I was spending a weekend at an Ubuntu Certified Professionals course redevelopment sprint. I was able to meet <a href=\"https:\/\/launchpad.net\/~dinda\">Belinda Lopez<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/nicolas.barcet.com\/drupal\/\">Nick Barcet<\/a> from Canonical, as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/bloggyblogsblog.blogspot.com\/\">Adam Sommer<\/a> (The Awesome), <a href=\"http:\/\/wrevolution.org\/\">Dan Trevino<\/a>, and others who were a real pleasure to work with. The weekend was a lot of fun, and hopefully just as productive :)<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday night I headed down to the city for a PLUG Central meeting, where there was a talk on clustering and Lustre. Thursday evening I had dinner with a friend at Blue Pacific down in King of Prussia. Friday I had dinner with a former co-worker at Michael&#8217;s Deli in King of Prussia (diner+great beer, yay!) and then got home a bit late for another <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.ubuntu.com\/USTeams\/Meetings\">USTeams Meeting<\/a> in #ubuntu-us. We defined the mentor qualifications for the team and the board will accept volunteers for the mentor positions soon. We&#8217;re continuing to move forward with revitalizing the team, I have a few tasks on my plate that I hope to get to this afternoon. Plus we were able to take some time to talk to a couple <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.ubuntu.com\/GlobalBugJam\">Global Bug Jam<\/a> events that US teams are holding.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the <a href=\"http:\/\/ubuntupennsylvania.org\/\">Ubuntu Pennsylvania<\/a> team has an event of our own planned in Philadelphia for the <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.ubuntu.com\/GlobalBugJam\">Global Bug Jam<\/a>! We&#8217;ll be hosting it on Saturday, February 21, 2009 from noon-6PM, after which we&#8217;ll head out for optional dinner and beers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As many of my local friends can attest, I spent much of my January as a bit of a hermit.
