But you're Russian Ukrainian! You're not UNfriendly . . . And, I'm from Baltimore, so I ken reed! ("Baltimore, the City that Reads," says the bilboard . . . the next bilboard says, "Illiterate? Call 1 (866) CAN - READ . . . Morons.)
Now, Sal on the other hand IS from NYC, and yet, he totally met me at Starbucks and hooked me up with all the Ubuntu distros and even partitioned my C: Drive because he's awesome!
We just need someone from Staten Island and Manhattan and then we can take over the Five Boroughs . . .
LOL Bmore is nice, my ex is from there, nice girl :)
Oh . . . I . . . didn't know about those guys . . . Do they meet regularly? Are they welcoming to noobuntus like me? Hmmm?

DeLUGE seems to meet monthly, and NYLUG probably meets pretty regularly, too.
I've been to one or two meetings of each, but it's not realy my thing. I was pretty much dragged to the meetings by a friend.

Are you saying you're a cop?
"New York City's *_FINEST_*" . . . Not "New York City's *_MOST LIKELY TO FINE YOU ONE-MINUTE AFTER A PARKING VIOLATION AND YET TAKE AN HOUR TO RESPOND TO A 911 CALL_*"
Not the same . . .
(To the cops out there: Hey, I'm just kidding! All in good fun right? Right?)
you gut to love nyc cops, there never there when you need 'um.
yes there is the NYCLUG but I figure since Ubuntu is such a BIG thing we need our own scene. how about it guys? :)
my landlord is a cop
Guys,
Know anything about NU Ubuntu?
Cops are cool to chat with (tho some can be assholes about it) but getting on their bad side sux.
They do have to deal with a Heluva LOT in the City . . . I don't envy them . . .
sal said: yes there is the NYCLUG but I figure since Ubuntu is such a BIG thing we need our own scene. how about it guys? :)
Well, if you attend the meetings of an existing group, you'll learn a lot. I'm sure you'll meet other Ubuntu users, and maybe discuss with them the possibility of an Ubuntu LUG.

seeing as i started a thread a few months ago looking for the same thing i'm with you on this one. i want to start a local ubuntu lug (call it an Uug) so if you want to start a group together pm me again and we should meet up.
Not from NY (with the exception of a ski condo upstate), but I just thought I'd point out that Uug reminds me of those horrendous shoes.

long island is welcome!
Alright, It seems we have more NY ubuntu users than I thought already. :p
How dose everyone feel about a nice coffee shop in the east village of manhattan for a day long Ubuntu/Kubuntu Meetup?
Please comment with your best times and what you think of this place: http://www.bcupcafe.com/page1.html
we could meet up there and then at night maybe head over to one of the local bars. I do want to have the main meet-up someplace like the coffee shop because of underage Ubuntu/Kubuntu users who might attend.
When NY is whole we will walk a path of victory for mankind in some shape of unity
bump. how dose everyone feel about a coffee shop with free WiFi for the meetup?
I am very interested in this meet place i think NY user should meet up
I'm *kinda* warning up to the idea, but not entirely. I'll follow this thread, but don't sign me up just yet.
Guys . . .
Totally interested in meeting you guys . . . if for nothing but selfish reasons . . . I need some guys to email/call when I can't figure something out!
Cafe looks cool, Sal!

how is your ubuntu going there. it's been a while since we spoke of it.
been having a lot of success . . . . I just tried out the Kubuntu desktop . . . didn't like it too well, but now my Gnome is messed up . . .
Even *after* I deleted Kubuntu-desktop . . .
Hmmm
I'm looking forward to Feisty Fawn . . .
Before I format and start over with Feisty, I'll have to show you my "Ubuntu from scratch" file . . . just to make sure my syntax is correct.
I still miss iTunes . . . the store was so great . . . and having on program that robust was nice . . .
Otherwise, I'm a *huge* advocate of Ubuntu . . . been converting my family to the way of the penguin, and proud of it!
:guitar:
(Love the new .gifs!)
i have a copy of crossover office here you could use to set up itunes with.
im trying to get this meet up together for next month so lets see how that gos. if you want, give me a call some time.
if everyone is in to meeting i will appear to this meeting with a open mind just like the Ubuntu. There is nothing better trying to unite a place that is so divided apart come on all lets spread the words of something that i have never seen before in a community
Cool, bros . . . Let's try and get together next month . . .
I'm thinking about taking your advice from your last podcast . . . I'm gonna start my own blog!
Holla!

I would be very interested in the NYC loco team

then go to the wiki and join in on it. :)
Hey guys,
Yeah I was trying to start a NYC loco team. Apparently our good friend Salvatore Carini beat me to it ;). I have however joined the team. As Mackenzie astutely noted my name is Yosef ;).
so.. Yosef=yharrow=fragmented_user
If you live in NY and are interested in actively promoting linux I highly recommend that you join the team. As far as I can tell, all you need to do is edit the NYC Team home page to include your name and you're in.
Also, I recommend expanding the scope of our projects and memberships to include users within the entire state of NY as opposed to the city alone. Worst comes to worst we can create a new team for the entire state of New York although I think it would be fairly redundant.

actualy you're probably right, we should expand to include all of NY state. sounds like a plan to me. :)
