			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are generating some interest around the great state of Wisconsin in having <a href="https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us-wisconsin" target="_blank">Wisconsin LoCo</a> Members participate in Ubuntu Hours.  So far, we have interest in Duluth(MN)/Superior(WI) and some people from the Madison Linux User Group (<a href="http://www.madisonlinux.org/" target="_blank">Madlug</a>).  What are Ubuntu Hours, you ask?</p>
<p>According to the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour" target="_blank">Ubuntu Hour Wiki</a>, it&#8217;s a pretty simple event.</p>
<ul>
<li>Head over to a public place (like a local coffee shop, etc) and use Ubuntu in a place that you will be visible to others.
<ul>
<li>Of course, check with management before you do this.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Perhaps have a sticker and/or make your desktop more easily visible that it&#8217;s something <em>different</em>.
<ul>
<li>A stock theme is pretty distinguishable from Windows or OSX, which is probably the method I&#8217;ll use.</li>
<li>Wobbly windows or the desktop cube can be eye-catching.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Maybe have a stock of Live CD&#8217;s and some documentation about it if anyone were to ask what OS you&#8217;re using.</li>
<li>Of course, follow the <a href="http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct" target="_blank">Ubuntu Code of Conduct</a> while you&#8217;re there.</li>
<li>Remember kids, stay safe offline &#8211; meet in a public place and take a friend.</li>
<li>Document!  Send an email to the <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-wi" target="_blank">mailing list</a>, blog about it, etc.  We&#8217;d like to hear what&#8217;s going on!</li>
<li>Be approachable (it&#8217;s kinda the point)!</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s a pretty laid-back event with little expectations.  If nobody asks one week, maybe you&#8217;ll talk to 4 people the next week.  It&#8217;s a good time to get some coffee, catch up on some work, or just browse the internet.  I&#8217;ll probably even take pictures of where I am each week.</p>
<p>Please, don&#8217;t forget to document, tell us what you&#8217;ve been up to, when and where you are, etc.</p>
