Upcoming Meeting - August 31, 2006 / 7-8pm MDT

Tomorrow evening, we will be having an online meeting. I suspect this will be the last online meeting for a while as I plan on having a few “in person” meetings over the next few weeks. So here’s the agenda so far:

  1. Mailing list status.
  2. Location discussion - any progress?
  3. Theme - ‘The Free, The Bold, The Open’.
  4. Logo - We need one.
  5. Nail down costs per person/group.
  6. To Booth or Room? Costs, etc.
  7. UTOSC - Results.
  8. Trips to Utah Groups, generate interest in person.

We need your help

Hi all,

For the last few weeks, we’ve been trying to get our ranking up in google, yahoo and other search engines with little to no luck. With utter refusal to use cheap, dastardly tricks to get our rankings up, we come to you, our fine constituency. What we need is back links to our site, this is a very simple request, really, it is…promise!

All you have to do, is create a link that says “Utah Open Source 2007″ or something like it, and have it link to us here at http://www.utos.org. Can you do it? Yes, you can! Let’s all take a message from “Bob the Builder” and come together as a team!

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,

Herlo

UTOS 2007 - August 2-4, 2007

Looks like we’ve decided on a date and time for the event to take place. Now all we need is everything else, location, speakers, sponsors, SIGs, food, entertainment, hotels/lodging, workshops, volunteers, a theme, and much more.

This is a request to all those who are interested in participating, let us know. We need your help. Over the next few months we will be making an effort to visit as many SIGs as possible, drumming up support and looking for volunteers. There are many things to be done for the conference, most of which can be done by volunteers like yourself. Please join us online in irc channel #utos at irc.freenode.net, Wednesday, August 31, 2006 so we can discuss further plans and share with you the vision of a Open Source Utah in 2007.

Cheers,

Clint
