Hey @Gerald, @Jim, and @Ken:

Sorry this took so long, Wordpress never let me know that I had new comments! My most sincere apologies, guys!

@Ken, let’s chat over Email or IRC — Stuff is in the works, and I would love to coordinate

@Jim, We have a few members in the Dayton area, as above, give me an email, and be sure to join the Mailing List, we’ll find a home for you yet!

@Gerald: Let’s get in touch as well. We have a brand new Akron group and I think they could use some community backup! I’ll shoot you an email CCing the local lead :)

I live in NE Ohio near Akron (Copley Township). I’d love to participate in any way I can. I signed up for the LOCO mailing list just (BTW, thanks for the “Spam” inviitation). I’ll definitely see about getting on IRC as well. Now, back to work!

If someone is interested in doing something around Dayton please contact me.
I’ve been doing Ubuntu workshops for libraries for the past year, own several domains and can host, have a 12-seat lab and access to a warehouse full of low-end computers which need a home.
Let me know how I can help

[...] Yesterday, the Ubuntu-ve team made a great effort and had a meet up to celebrate Karmic’s release we had an awesome turn up. The highlight of this meeting was the plan we will be folloeing during the Lucid release cycle to improve as a LoCo team. As a member of the LoCo Council, I follow closely the great achievements of teams and one idea in the past month generated synergy for our team, the One-Year Ohio Team Plan. [...]

@Bob, I’m in Lakewood too (and I know of at least 2 other Ubuntu-folks in Lakewood, coworkers of mine), I’d definitely be up for a Western Suburbs ReLoCo, perhaps pulling in folks from Rocky River and Westlake too. I don’t have much experience at all organizing things like this, but I’m certainly willing to throw my hat in to assist however I can!

@Bob:

I would LOVE to see West Cleveland have their own ReLoCo. I think the Rule of 30 ( minutes ) should really be put in play. Pop onto IRC, and we can hammer out some details, I have a few ideas in store >:), not to mention having more then one spot in Cleveland will be outstanding.

Regarding the success of Pennsylvania’s IRC channel, there are a few key things we’ve done to make this happen:

Have a core group of people who lurk there frequently and say hello to people who join.

Have a web chat link on the website (you SAY we’re all nerds, but it turns out not everyone in #ubuntu-us-pa is, giving an entry point that is simple is a big help, we can move them to real IRC clients once we get them hooked!)

Along the same lines, when we install Ubuntu systems for folks – set up IRC and make it simple for them to use it and let them know they can join to ask for any help they need.

Put the IRC channel (along with mailing list, forums, website URL…) on businesscards to hand out advertising the team at events.

Finally, you know this because you’re there :) but for others who may read this – “on topic” is very loose in the channel, we’re friends so we chat about xkcd and movies, we are a support team who will stop the chatter when a real support request comes up, and we plan meetings and events in the channel.

I live in the a western suburb(Lakewood) and am very much interested in having a group started around this area of Ohio, I know a few “Ubuntu Addicts” but I suspect it is like other groups I belong to, everything seems to go on out east of Cleveland, I don’t know if the people on the east side are more joiners than westsiders or what it is, but there has to be a way to get people more information as to what is available and where it is available, I personally have seen maybe two mentions of the westside group forming and then nothing more. I will mention the group forming to the other people but need some info as to what exactly is happening and when to get them out to the location.
Thanks,
Bob K.
