Where's our LoCo Team?

I'm just wondering where the California loCo team is? there hasn't been any activity in this forum. I would also like some more info so I can maybe look into joining.

Thanks

Agreed. There are tons of people in California but apparently none of them are interested in starting a LoCo.

Well I will start by saying I am in Southern California in the Irvine/Newport Beach area.

There is a Linux UG at UCLA. They were in awe of Ubuntu the day they installed Fedora Core 5 from which I have gone over to UB.

There is a Linux UG at UCI as well. We run like 10 different distrobutions on our various servers.... its a mess.

I am in Hawthorne CA, just south of LAX. I still consider my self a newbie but I am willing to learn...

I agree. There should at the very least be a thread for Southern California and Northern California.

Perhaps we can start two new threads?

San Diego here!

Greetings from San Francisco Bay!

NoHo (North Hollywood) Southern CA here :)

I'm a Canadian currently living in Sacramento. But I will probably be moving to Venice soon, to further pursue my career.

Is that Venice California, Flordia or Italy? I probably missed several others around and about. Venice Calif you'll have the girls, Flordia?? could be a retirement community, Italy? now having been there several times I can truthfully say it's a great place to visit...... Florence is better to live. Piza a bit like a college campus in the off season (of the college & tourists), Naples (my teenage stomping ground for a couple of years) has great character! No matter where you go, just go and enjoy. It's great to be able to travel and gain new experiences, friends etc.

Yes, I'm in Woodland Hills, just to the west of Winnetka.

I wish it was Italy. :) But sadly, it's Venice California. (Sorry, I should have been more specific on that). And I already have a girl, so there's not much attraction there. :P

Coarsegold (north of Fresno). I noticed a number of Fresno/Clovis folks... :o

I'm in LA

San Jose -

Another noob in Long Beach - PPC use is of greatest interest, but I'll get to Intel eventually.

For the airport-obsessed, one mile south of Catalina Flying Boats at Long Beach Airport.

pleasanton here

Another one in San Diego! (Well, Chula Vista, really)\\:D/

San Francisco. Anyone else in SF?

I just joined from in San Diego.

All together, including myself, I count six people from the San Diego area. Just thought I'd post a running total now and then for inspiration ;)

I'm in Fullerton (*circa* Anaheim), from Sacamenna and planning to study in SF/SJ.

And I'm nooberific:(

P.S. Sharks Rule!

I am a newbie from Whittier.

Southern California also in the IE> Moreno Valley. I joined the California LOCO team about one to two months ago. I have also setup this for email list and maybe coordination for the California team.

http://www.socalopensource.org-a.googlepages.com/

I am planning on making it a free standing non-profit. I am willing to do some presentations and show different groups what can be done with FOSS (Free and Open Source Software). I plan on participating and perhaps getting a group together in the IE for installation party then at the next Software freedom day when it rolls around.

BYte69

I'm in the mountains of Northern California, near Chico.

San Fernando Valley... Did I count 4 in the Valley and 6 in LA (West LA area?)

I'm willing to go to West LA, LA, Hollywood, Burbank...

I guess we just need a place and time?

Andrew here in the Los Angeles area.

Adam here, I'm in Valencia / Burbank

We *are* all over the place, but mostly in LA and SF regions.

Bakersfield, California

Santa Cruz . . . Presente! Felton, actually: Gateway to the San Lorenzo Valley and home of both the Bigfoot Museum and HeliOS Solutions West (two institutions which may have more in common than you might think). Also home of the best state park in the state: Henry Cowell.

(Tap, tap--is this thing on?)

Hi all, I'm in the East Bay: home's in El Cerrito, w*rk's in Oakland. I've actually been a Debian developer since '98, and I run Debian at home, but I decided to try Ubuntu at w*rk, since that's what several other people were using, and it's a close-enough cousin that all the tools I expect are there (after a little judicious apt-getting).

Anaheim and all about Debian + Ubuntu.

Ripon Ca and I wish I could find a teacher close by:(

Upland / Ontario area.

Thanks but I live in the central valley area Modesto and Stockton:(

Sunny San Diego (discovered by the Germans in 1904, and of course in German means "a whale's vagina").

No. I think it means "Saint Diego"

LOL

Long Beach, back in action

I'm moving to San Jose in May!!! I go to Arizona State University right now. I graduate in May and am moving to CA for a girl...of course.

Redlands, Ca

Hi Everyone!

Another Ubuntu user here in Farmersville.

Los Angeles, CA 90066 :KS

I'm in Alhambra, CA (just south of Pasadena) in the San Gabriel Valley.

While I'm not a member of the LoCo Team, I'd love to help wherever I can as I've already been evangelizing FOSS, Linux & Ubuntu (more specifically) for a few years now.

I am in Mentone, Ca just east of Redlands some call us East Redlands.

I've have been using many different flavors of *nix since the late 90s from slackware to freebsd, but finally found home with Ubuntu and been preaching it since.

Yorba Linda, CA. ...just to keep it going.

Murrieta, CA! 92562. Between LA and SD in Riverside County

woo hoo, go Inland Empire! :guitar:

Downey... woot!

Mendocino representin' (4 hrs. north of SF) Just moved down here from Portland, OR.

Maybe a slightly higher rank than noobie. Hoping to turn the locals onto linux and Ubuntu one user at a time.

I also like the idea of separate Southern and Northern Cali teams. Anybody else in the area? Guess its just me and Bigfoot. Wonder which ones hairier.

Hello from Aliso Viejo, Orange county!

I joined this California loco team about 3 months ago. Very few activities or regular scheduled meetings anywhere from what I can tell. There are a whole bunch of us here in Cal but nothing structured yet in terms of consistent meetings in a designated city. However, I also belong to www.UUASC.org It is a Unix Users Association that meets every 2nd Monday of each month in Irvine Ca and is an all Unix/Linux friendly association. They have been pretty consistent for me here in orange county.

Hopefully one day in the near future our Cal Loco team will get something going like UUASC or any of the other LUG's here in California with Ubuntu as the focus. :)

Chula Vista, 91911

Hey, I live about 15 miles from Mendocino! Glad to know I'm not the only GNU/Linux user in Mendo who uses these forums!

San Mateo county , 20 mins south of SF.

Just moved to Mission Viejo in Orange County (SoCal.)

Anahiem

Irvine/Newport Beach area Glad to see how many from OC are in! Great meeting spot!

seems like to me that there should be a couple teams in ca. Namely a LA team, SF/Bay area team, Sacramento/nor cal team. Maybe they could hold separate get togethers and then A couple times a year all the local teams could come together for a state wide meeting. Also the attendance of regular IRC meetings.

San Jose :)

I'm in Santa Clara. :)

Sacramento, CA here.

I also agree with 5dolla

If there was a Sac team, I'd party up for that.

Orange County, city of Orange here! Pretty adept with Ubuntu but always looking to learn more.

Downey/LA here. Check out this link for Ubuntu Hours in your area: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/UbuntuHours

start your own and add it to the list.

iheartubuntu is starting one in Pasadena, starting in April. Adding it to the list as we speak.

i'm on irc nickname seidos in #ubuntu-us-ca.

Go with frog.

meditatingfrog said: iheartubuntu is starting one in Pasadena, starting in April. Adding it to the list as we speak.

Thanks. I'm helping to put the Pasadena Ubuntu Hour together - if you're in Pasadena drop by Peet's Coffee at S. Lake and California Ave at 6PM on April 14.

Taking a cue from some of the other successful Ubuntu Hours, we're timing this one in conjunction with the monthly meeting of our local LUG, the San Gabriel Valley Linux User Group, which takes place at 7PM on the second Thursday of each month.

It's a short walk of just a couple blocks from Peet's to the CalTech Physics building where SGV LUG meets, so it's easy to attend both meetings.

Pasadena, CA here. I'll be posting pertinent info in the Ubuntu Hours thread.

Is there any one using ubuntu in San Jose? Is SF the only loco in the bay area? I am car free:D and have to get around using mass transit so I'm kind of restricted to buses and my two feet.

toor58 said: Is there any one using ubuntu in San Jose?

There have been several Ubuntu Hours at Philz Coffee in San Jose, the last one was in June: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-california/1007/detail/

But lately no one has had time to arrange one, if you're interested in meeting up with others and perhaps offering to come to a San Jose meetup if one happens I highly suggest signing up for our mailing list and expressing interest (our forums aren't very active, but our mailing list is):

https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca

We'll also be having a booth at the upcoming LinuxPicnic.org event at Sunnyvale Baylands Park (admittedly, not San Jose, but it's close).
