* We announced [5-A-Day](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day) and got it [Dugg pretty well](https://digg.com/linux_unix/Make_a_real_difference_to_Ubuntu_with_5_A_Day). The number of members in the [Launchpad Team](https://launchpad.net/~5-a-day) doubled and it seems *lots* of bug work is going on as part of the scheme. If you have no idea what I am talking about, or are not involved yet – go and [read this page](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day). And remember…normal users *can* contribute to 5-A-Day, that page will explain how. If you are uncertain, drop me a mail. 🙂
* Ubuntu Developer week has been kicking arse. I am so incredibly proud of everyone who has been involved in the making of it, and I am pleased it has been useful to so many of the attendees. Today is the final day, so be sure to [check out the schedule](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek).
* Today is the dealing for Ubuntu monthly report content. Go and add your team’s content to [this months report](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports/February2008).
* [LugRadio Live USA 2008](https://lugradio.org/live/USA2008/start) registration is [now open](https://lugradio.org/live/USA2008/register). Go and get your ticket for the awesome event on the 12th and 13th April 2008. I also added a Facebook page for it. We are building up the gears on the promotion of LugRadio Live USA 2008, but I need your help. If you can help me promote it online or in the area, please get in touch with me. 🙂
