One thing that has always amazed me is the energy, ideas, and new opportunities that new members inject into our Ubuntu community. Not too long ago, we (Ubuntu Vancouver LoCo) were very fortunate that Charlene Tessier found us.
Charlene brought a "game-changing" marketing idea into the group: Getting ourselves out to real community events that are filled with people from all walks of life.
So, this past summer, Ubuntu Vancouver LoCo representatives hit (four of) the Vancouver Farmer's Market locations to spread awareness about Ubuntu.
"It’s a beautiful sunny day at the Vancouver Farmer’s Market, (R) and I are trying to figure out should we put the banner up on the umbrella or should it be on the front of the table?" Read all about it here: http://frenchfortunecookie.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/learn-grow-share-ubu...
My own perceptions and take-aways from our summer market days will appear in a future post. But, until then, please join me in thanking Charlene for a job well done!
