[01:10] <ejv> greetings, I am trying to find a Loco for the Pacific Northwest, Portland specifically. Could anyone point me in the right direction? :)
[01:28] <Salt> i believe it's #ubuntu-us-or
[01:28] <Salt> ejv, i thought they were somewhat active..
[01:30] <Salt> maybe they fell apart
[01:30] <ejv> yea it's a bit meager in the channel
[01:30] <ejv> was curious if i was in the wrong place
[01:30] <Salt> a shame
[01:30] <Salt> we started ubuntu-pnw as a co organization
[01:30] <Salt> or wa and other pnw locos
[01:30] <Salt> then we got split apart
[01:31] <Salt> and each of the locos has lost a lot of members
[01:31] <Salt> but i'd hope things are continuing
[01:31] <ejv> that's unfortunate, why?
[01:31] <Salt> canonical mandates that it's one state per loco
[01:32] <ejv> I may be moving to the region in 6~8 months, would be nice to network with some fellow F/OSS people
[01:32] <Salt> well, there's definitely a oregon scene
[01:33] <Salt> for f/oss
[01:33] <Salt> if you could make it up for this, i'm sure you'd meet plenty: http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/
[01:34] <Salt> http://www.pdxlinux.org/ seems up to date too
[01:34] <ejv> hmm #orlug
[01:35] <ejv> not quite ubuntu... but progress!
[01:35] <ejv> thanks salt
[01:35] <Salt> np
[01:35] <Salt> if you pass through seattle, i run gslug
[01:36] <ejv> im sure i'll be able to visit certainly
[01:37] <ejv> i'll be new to the region completely and will want to travel
[01:37] <ejv> perhaps gearing the ubuntu portland operations back up could be a part time project for me to sink my teeth into :)
[01:38] <Salt> :)
[01:38] <ejv> (although i have no idea what their activity actually is)
