[ubuntu-us-mi] Hello World

[Wolfger]

Chatting on IRC the other day, somebody reminded me that our fine LoCo
hit over 100 people right after Penguicon. That, of course, is 100
memebers *on paper*. We've certainly not seen that many posting on
this list or hanging out is #ubuntu-us-mi which is what we'd really
like to see. Heck, I'd rather see 25 active members than 250 inactive
ones... So who's actually out there? Please introduce yourselves, and
give us an idea what your interests are (in or out of Ubuntu), where
in this large-ish state you live, and what activities you'd like to
see the LoCo (and yourself) engage in.

Name: Wolfger (or Mike Foster, if you insist)

Place: New Baltimore (NE Macomb County)

Distro: Kubuntu Hardy (soon to be dual-booting with Kubuntu Intrepid)

Ubuntu interests: I like helping out with bugs, and I'm interested in
learning how to package debs for Ubuntu/Debian. I'm also starting work
on a full-featured Twitter client called Tweek that I hope the world
will love. I run "bug jams" periodically, in which I explain to people
the very basics of doing bug triage. As I get more experienced myself,
I'll be passing that along to others as well.

non-Ubuntu interests: I love watching or playing hockey (anybody need
a rusty goalie?), brewing beer, playing in the SCA
<http://scademo.com>

Plans for world domination: Our LoCo is already one of the top-ranked
groups in 5-a-day <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day> but I'd like to
see that grow. Recently an inspired kubuntu-de.org group flew past us
in the rankings. I want to reclaim first place in convincing fashion,
but I also want to encourage other groups to participate too. Being
king of the hill just isn't much fun when nobody is trying to knock
you down. :-)

Yes, I already talked to him about it. I have some work to do first,
though, since right now KDE 4 makes no sense to me at all.<g>

Name: "The Great..." oh, literally you mean? Rick

Place: Clarkston, MI by Great Lakes Crossing

Distro: Ubu Hardy

Ubuntu interests: Packaging, software dev, lots of get togethers and of

non-Ubuntu interests: My current obsession is housebreaking my baby girl
Jordyn (3 month old black lab), I wish I had more time for my
woodworking, and of course I love to hack on code stuff on the side.


Plans for world domination: I think our LoCo has some good words about
it out there, but I'd definitely like to see more people get involved in
things like the bug stuff since it's a great visible number to all. I'd
also like to see more of us developers get together and maybe find
something we could work on. We all like to hack right?

Name: Dave Barnett/dbarnett
Place: Ann Arbor
Distro: Ubuntu Hardy
Ubuntu interests: I made the decision a few years ago that I was not a
sysadmin

and just want an OS that provides me service

with a minimum

of hassle, this is what brought me to ubuntu
in the first place.
The point being, my interests with ubuntu
are more as a user.
That being said, I enjoy ubuntu evangelism
and have converted
many users including my technophobic wife
who no longer
wants to use windows.

non-Ubuntu interests: Kids take up most of my time but, programming (mostly
python/c), poker, music, video gaming.
Plans for world domination: Eventually... the world will come to me

Place: A2, but for the summer I'll be in San Francisco (I know, you hate

Distro: Ubuntu Hardy

Ubuntu Interests: As the "point person" for the Michigan LoCo it would
seem obvious that I enjoy the people aspect of Ubuntu and talking it up
with others. Also, I enjoy triaging bugs (really, I do).

Non Ubuntu Interests: what I'm going to grad school for (Information
Policy), biking (commuter, not racer), reading, walking around (hiking),
and appreciating beer.

World Domination Plans: It all starts with Freedom.

[Josh]

I feel pretty guilty about the whole inactive member thing, since I was
one of the first (I think the third) official members of this loco, and
the first to find it after greg established it....and I don't even have
the friendliness required to idle in irc. I suppose I should be the
poster boy for inactive members, eh :)


Name: Josh Panter (alienseer23 on irc)

Place: Ann Arbor, MI

Distro: Got Hardy on my desktop, which also acts as my home's server,
hardy on my "big" laptop, my kid's desktop, and my wife's old dell still
runs gutsy. I have Knoppix on my EEE Pc.

Ubuntu interests: Right now it's mainly advocacy. I am pretty much a
fiend for promoting Ubuntu/Linux/FOSS whenever I can. I'm big on free
culture, and free (as in beer and speech) software. It's borderline
political for me, I suppose. I also keep busy keeping all the comps in
my home running smooth. My last "project" was to get a Drupal install,
host it myself, and maintain it. I did this, and put in an Ampache music
server, and a few other nifty things that keep me happily tinkering
lately. I am pretty happy about being able to integrate a desktop
environment and a web/server experience with Ubuntu and Drupal (or
whatever). I have been using ubuntu for a few years, killed all the
windows in the home about 6 months after testing it out, and am pretty
darn happy I did. I would like to get more linux-knowledge.

non-Ubuntu interests: my family, getting back in school (ie academics is
pretty high on the list), political junkie, media junkie, fitness in
general, and call it philosophical adventuring (the latest in this
section was to go see the Dalai Lama speak at Chrysler
Arena)...um...this feels weird, like some sort of internet personals
thing...so

plans for world domination: H'm, I am actually busy positioning myself
to help people wake up from the nightmare of having their world
dominated, so...if I did have a plan for world domination, it would
involve giving the world back to the people that it belongs to, and that
would be everyone...so, I suppose this one doesn't apply.

see the LoCo (and yourself) engage in.

Place: New Baltimore (NE Macomb County)
Distro: Kubuntu Hardy (soon to be dual-booting with Kubuntu Intrepid)
Ubuntu interests: I like helping out with bugs, and I'm interested in
learning how to package debs for Ubuntu/Debian. I'm also starting work
on a full-featured Twitter client called Tweek that I hope the world
will love. I run "bug jams" periodically, in which I explain to people
the very basics of doing bug triage. As I get more experienced myself,
I'll be passing that along to others as well.
non-Ubuntu interests: I love watching or playing hockey (anybody need
a rusty goalie?), brewing beer, playing in the SCA

Plans for world domination: Our LoCo is already one of the top-ranked
groups in 5-a-day <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day> but I'd like to
see that grow. Recently an inspired kubuntu-de.org group flew past us
in the rankings. I want to reclaim first place in convincing fashion,
but I also want to encourage other groups to participate too. Being

Chatting on IRC the other day, somebody reminded me that our fine LoCo
hit over 100 people right after Penguicon. That, of course, is 100
memebers *on paper*. We've certainly not seen that many posting on
this list or hanging out is #ubuntu-us-mi which is what we'd really
like to see. Heck, I'd rather see 25 active members than 250 inactive
ones... So who's actually out there? Please introduce yourselves, and
give us an idea what your interests are (in or out of Ubuntu), where
in this large-ish state you live, and what activities you'd like to
see the LoCo (and yourself) engage in.

[Adam Lincoln]

Name: Adam Lincoln (_stink_ on IRC)

Place: Royal Oak, MI

Distro: Gutsy on main desktop/laptop, dapper on old server-ish machine

Ubuntu interests: new apps, bug fixin', packaging; all currently on
hold thanks to this pesky dissertation. Oh, and subtle
evangelization.

non-Ubuntu interests: almost any sport, esp. soccer and hockey;
nethack; bizarre window managers and console apps; physics; law; other
random crap.

Plans for world domination: Continue dominating the imaginary world in my head.

[Mike Ward]

Well hell, if Adam did it, I guess I will...

I am Mike Ward, or on IRC as most of you would know me, ColonelPanic001. I'm
in Downriver, but I'm not saying where because Adam might send his giant
mutant cat after me. I'm a soon-to-be graduate of Wayne State University (in
August), in Computer Science.

I run Hardy on my laptop, Gutsy on the desktop.

Ubuntu Interests: Mostly just evangelization and helping users newer than
me.

Non-Ubuntu Interests: Go (the board game), nethack (although that's fading a
bit), reading (mostly "classics", literature, etc). Sherlock Holmes. Finding
f'ing weird stuff on the Internets. Keeping the LUG I helped start (at Wayne
State University). Chatting on IRC until the wee hours, etc, etc, etc. I
like long walks on the beach and candlelit dinners (actually, sand sucks.
Scratch that). More recently, I've gotten into editing wikipedia.

Plans for world domination: Already in progress. The mousetrap is set, my
friends, and as soon as the time is right, well... you'll know. Muhahaha.
And stuff.

[Rebecca Herber]

Please excuse the necromancy but I thought I should tell you a little
about myself before I go asking for help.

Name: Rebecca "Becky" Herber-haven't been on IRC yet

Place: Port Huron

Distro: Ubuntu on laptop and dual boot with Windows XP Home on my desktop

Ubuntu interests: trying to get it to run on my somewhat outdated
laptop, trying to get all my tasks I normally do in Windows running in
on Ubuntu

non-Ubuntu interests: MMO gaming, d20 gaming, sci-fi

I am currently a student at Baker College, going back to learn how to
be a licensed veterinary tech as my previous attempts at being a
computer technician have never been profitable due to the poor job
market here in Michigan. They say you go through at a few career
changes in life, I'm working on 2 right.

Its an old HP N5470 from 2000, at least I think that's when my friend
originally purchased it. When he gave it to me last fall, it
overheated constantly, the CDRW/DVD-rom drive worked when it felt like
it, and the battery only held a charge for 10 minutes. I've managed to
clean it out which was full of cat hair, nicotine, and 2 nicely
crisped roaches, find a new recordable media drive for it, and get a
new battery. The BIOS doesn't like the new CDRW/DVD-rom combo drive
and I can't boot from it on startup, I think it might be the eprom
security but I'm done putting anymore money into it. I've managed to
get around it by using the Smart Boot Manager on a floppy disk which
sees the drive with no problem; it also is recognized by the OS with
no problem.

You know me Jer. I'm that Becky chick that goes to Bill's parties that
lives in Port Huron.

Actually I don't get to do as much d20 gaming as I used to do, at
least not around here. Port Huron's become the end of the world in
geekiness, we used to have a comic store, Kelly's Comics, that had
in-store gaming but they went out of business a few years ago. The
other store Taurus Comics isn't as supporting to the local gamers
seeing that they don't have the space for people to game, at least it
was that way last time I went in there last year. I could be wrong,
they may have a back room I don't know about that because I don't
frequent them like I used to when I was going to SC4.

But now I'm getting way off topic...

Whoops, I must have been tired last night. *red face* I got you
confused with Jer Lance. lol

We never had anything as cool as the Society for Creative Anachronism
in Port Huron, I think we lack the the brain cells needed. SC4 is St.
Clair County Community College, the local community college.
