Humming Along

Stuff with Ubuntu is really humming along. After great success with the community festival we have begun looking forward. It looks like we may start a 'high performance training program' as a bit of a beta program to lead in to the academy in 2012. It may mean we also have to start the beginnings of a club for those kids to have a place to play their games. It's really exciting to see the movement. Now we just need to have the right things come into place.
We had a great meeting with a guy yesterday that is just north of us that has a dream, not totally dissimilar to ours, and we might work together. He has done some work in schools and has been in the schools that I saw as our place of growth. Hopefully we'll work together on that to combine our strategy with his contacts and relationships. Then, he may know of some talented kids that we can put into our HPTP that would raise the level of our group. So, that was exciting.
We have a BIG meeting tomorrow night with the chairman of the most established local club in our area (the one I played with this season). We are open to working in partnership with them, but if they don't want to work together he has the power to possibly block our entrance into that league, which is the better of the two locally. So, we're hoping for a great movement there.
Pray that the right connections will be made and that people would lock into the vision God has given us. This is the time!
