Some of you may already have noticed the Irish LoCo's Profile of the Day
project https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/ProfileOfTheDay
which we have picked up in the UK LoCo
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ProfileRoulette
I blogged about it here
http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/07/18/profile-roulette/
Basically it is a scheme to highlight the wiki page of one member of the
community each day and encourage people to help improve their own pages
and those of others, including leaving testimonials. It would be great
if other LoCo teams want to continue this theme, feel free to shout for
help setting up wiki pages and such in #ubuntu-locoteams

Sounds Fun, and if it helps keep the page updated, then it'll be a good
thing to do!

The point would be that if it is more fun than it is work - okay. How do we make it fun and not work?

1. Is this more work?
2. Do we each have a wiki page somewhere that we are responsible for?
3. If so, why? I am not sure why this is a good thing. Maybe it is, but I'd like
to see some justification for why this is worth doing.

More work than what? Nothing? Sure.

Post by nadreck
2. Do we each have a wiki page somewhere that we are responsible for?

You would just be responsible for your own page, about yourself.

Post by nadreck
3. If so, why? I am not sure why this is a good thing. Maybe it is, but I'd like
to see some justification for why this is worth doing.

To get to know each other. Part of building a group of people who want to
work on things together is knowing who each other are.

Best,

Greg

I think the question that needs to be asked is: who's the audience? I
mean, who exactly is going to be reading all these profiles? Does
anybody really care, or are we wasting our time?

Hopefully, you and others in the LoCo.

This would be Michigan LoCo specific. Each week we could send out an
email with the week's featured profile. Those who are interested can read
it and maybe learn something interesting about a fellow LoCo member.
Then, we learn more about each other and with that do cool new things.
("Oh, I didn't know you had an interest in <insert random rare activity>!
Me too! Let's do something cool together!")

Note: I'm not dead set on doing this, but I do think it would be a cool
thing.

Best,

Greg

[Tony Bemus]

I like the Idea, Im going to go on and update my profile now!

Well there's your Launchpad page, and also a Wiki page. But the Wiki
page may not exist if you never created it.

For instance:
https://launchpad.net/~brousch
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/brousch

It looks like I haven't done anything to mine since 2008!

Wiki, it is the most flexible.
