http://www.jonobacon.org/2006/10/27/linuxworld-report/ At home with Jono Bacon, Community Manager and Author Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:56:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://www.jonobacon.org/2006/10/27/linuxworld-report/comment-page-1/#comment-12509 Hooray for our side ! Tue, 12 Dec 2006 21:41:22 +0000 http://www.jonobacon.org/?p=801#comment-12509 <p>[...] Well it is done. Several months after being pointed to by Jono at the Linux World Expo for the task of ensuring there was a UKTeam Approval Application to be considered atthe Ubuntu Community Council  we were finally accepted. Thisis yet another step in the on going journey that brings Ubuntu to the Desktop and the UKTeam Local Support Community to the  general and as yet unaware masses. Further the Application by Alan and Myself to become full fledged Ubuntu Members was accepted. Whilst Alan due to his earnest and dogmatic approach to material production and community support was a no brainer for candidacy. Mine underwent a little more scrutiny and several questions were asked to back up my candidacy of which i was glad for Mr Simmons and Mr Pope for their support. My most sincere and genuine thanks must go to everyone of the UKTeam who showed up and added their voice to our applications , and to Gazzak for the banners, and to those who helped in progressing the UKTeam to its approval. The meeting was certainly interesting for the UKTeam since many of its members initially joined the meeting whilst camped out at their places of work. Since there were many items on the Agenda the discussion relating to the UKTeam candidacy and the Membership approvals did not come until  a much later point by which  time many desk bound members would have been heading home. So to those who stayed for as long as you could, thank you for your support. Now lets get on with the fun stuff! Thanks for reading. [...]</p> [...] Well it is done.

Well that and this post and then thats all I will say. It has been 4 days since Linux World Expo London 2006 wrapped up. The show marked the first meeting of the Ubuntu UKTeam. Im still trying to decide if the enthusiasm for Ubuntu is the result of the ethos or the technology. Jono has already provided an initial report into the event from his point of view of as a Canonical Guy and Ubuntu Community manager. There have been a few galleries posted already and Ive posted the notes from the first meeting . Meanwhile on the mailing list we continue  to discuss how we will be progressing. Clearly its important to maintain the inertia that was in evidence and I know I have already considered several landmarks in the public awareness such as Children In need, New Year, the next Ubuntu release, Lugradio Live and then Linux World Expo again. So let me wrap up with a brief summary of what else we moved during the show. [...]</p> [...] Wow, thats all I can say. Well that and this post and then thats all I will say.
