LUGRadio Live is over…

by | Tue 25 Jul 2006

…and it was awesome. Thanks to every single one of you who came along – you made the months of preparation worthwhile. The blogs and write-ups are still coming in, but the general response seems to have been very positive, and the four of us are chuffed to bits.

The worst thing about the event was that I wanted to experience it in so many different ways. I wanted to sit down and talk for hours with so many people there about serious and important subjects, I wanted to be social and have a laugh, I wanted to get to know all of you while you were there, I wanted to fire up laptops and compare code, I wanted to talk about community inclusion and get people’s opinions… Ultimately I tried to experience it with a combination of the above, but I still feel like I missed so many opportunities. I suppose you just can’t be in all the places all the same time.

There are few occasions when you see true community in action, but this weekend was one of them. Thanks everyone, and thanks to the #lugradio faithful for making the Sunday night a great finale. Each and every one of you made topped off a great weekend. 🙂

For many years Ubuntu has had a comprehensive governance structure. At the top of the tree are the Community Council (community policy) and the Technical Board (technical policy). Below those boards are sub-councils such as the IRC, Forum, and LoCo councils, and...
