So I finally felt confidant enough to apply for Ubuntu Membership and added my name to the list last month. Yesterday like a bolt from the blue it was announced that a Community Counsel meeting would take place on the 15th at 11:00 UTC that’s 5:00am in good ol’ New Mexico. So with less than 24 hours notice I was able to let my Local LoCo know what was up ( A big thanks goes to Eric Krieger for alerting me ). This morning I was up bright and early had my cheering section in attendance ( again thanks to Eric ,Chris, and to Mike for wishing me well, good friends you all are).
Needless to say I and the other applicants got to be there when the whole process of how you obtain membership was changed, lucky us. Looks like we will have to wait till the region we live in has it’s new regional community council meeting. I personally think that regional Community Councils are a great idea and as Eric put it this morning Ubuntu is just experiencing “growing pains” and this type of evolution was bound to happen, but it sure would have been nice to know before my 4:30am wake up call.
Ubuntu is growing in leaps and bounds and more people than ever are applying for membership, LoCo’s are growing too. So the fact that we need Regional Community Councils and LoCo Community Councils to help us govern all that is going on is such a good sign I can’t help but feel a real since of accomplishment.
It just looks like I got to wait a little longer for membership.
Stumble It!

Yes, it’s a good idea. However, and this is something I mentioned but got ignored, the ones looking forward membership, should’ve been taken care of TODAY.
After all, I’m sure some people made arrangements to their personal life to attend the meeting. After taking care of the candidates, the LoCo idea could be implemented and new members would have a new guideline for membership approval.

Oh I so agree
