* scott_ev announced: I believe most of you know that I am only moderating meetings on a temporary basis: I am not the team leader. Our team leader, johnc4510, is taking some time off from moderating our meetings. He is still around handling other aspects of running our LoCo and generally taking care of things that don't require a public presence. In time, this should change and we'll again be rewarded with the opportunity to interact with him. Until then we'll just have to see what we can do to keep this team active and on track.

* scott_ev made 11 general announcements taken from the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter #174. For those interested, the UWN can be accessed from this redirect URL: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Current . It automatically takes you to the current issue.

* PLUG and announcements from xHans: PLUG devel is this Thursday night over at UAT - http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/node/554 .
