The Philadelphia Geeknic yesterday was a fantastic success. We topped out around 30 attendees from across all kinds of geek disciplines. Scifi? Yep! Science? Yep! Computers? Well, that goes without saying!

At the Americas Board meeting this past Tuesday evening Alex Launi became the latest Ubuntu Pennsylvania member to become an Ubuntu Member!
From the announcement:
Alex has been an active member of the US Pennsylvania LoCo team since 2007 and is a developer for GNOME Do. Within the core Ubuntu community his contributions have been primarily to the LoCo as one of the mailing list admins and a launchpad admin, as well as contributing to development of the website and attending and participating in many events. He is also active on the forums giving support and does bug reporting and was recently involved with some testing with the Intel video drivers in Jaunty.
Congratulations Alex!
