Last week I had set up ubuntu-us.org ^[1] as a portal for US LoCo teams, since the page was previously a placeholder.

On Saturday the US Team Project ^[2] met to talk about various things, including how to promote US teams. One of the things that came up was getting on the front page of Digg.

When I got into work this morning, I saw that jono was finishing up talking to US mentors about this article ^[3]. Shortly after, it was submitted to Digg ^[4].

472 Diggs ^[4] and quite a few new teams ^[5] later, I’d say today was a great success for LoCo Teams in the US. I’d like to thank everyone who helped out in #ubuntu-us today, and good luck to all those new LoCo Team members!

As well, the New Jersey Team ^[6] had a very productive meeting today to talk about what we’ll be doing for Software Freedom Day. Hopefully we’ll have more concrete details soon, but so far great progress guys!
