Welcome to the Ubuntu Canada Local Team's Homepage

Ubuntu Canada is a group of dedicated Ubuntu users across Canada who have come together to provide a small, friendly support community for new and old Ubuntu users alike. We are devoted to bringing the spirit of Ubuntu to Canada, through promotion, support and localization efforts. Our team is connected to Linux User Groups all over Canada, and we attend many major Canadian technical events.

The effort to bring the spirit of Ubuntu to Canada cannot be accomplished by any single user -- we need the support of all kinds of Canadian Ubuntu users, experienced and inexperienced alike. If you are an Ubuntu user in Canada, please consider joining the Ubuntu Canada team.

Ubuntu Canada became an officially-recognized Ubuntu Local Community (LoCo) Team on Jan. 9th 2007 - thanks to the Ubuntu Community Council for the recognition, and to all the Ubuntu Canada members who worked to earn that recognition!

Wondering about Ubuntu in Vancouver? Think big meetings and lots of new members!

We're growing fast. In a few short months since our last update we've added dozens and dozens of members to our group, which is now likely the biggest in Canada.

We are a diverse collection of people that gathers to discuss all things related to Ubuntu and freedom in computing. Contrary to popular belief, we are not "geeks" or "techies". We come from every walk of life: school teachers, artists, business people, students, musicians, welders, kayak instructors, authors, programmers, activists, and poets. I don't think we have any shepherds or lighthouse keepers yet though, so if you know some please invite them to join us .

Ubuntu Vancouver LoCo organizes community events such as presentations and support sessions to help people learn about Ubuntu, install Ubuntu on their computer, and solve computing problems. We plan meetings, parties and other social events to network with our community and to foster the sharing of free software and ideas.

There's a lot more fun and growth to come in the coming months. Please watch this page for updates and I hope you'll join us and make some noise on Canada's front line for Bug #1.

Here's the best way to join the fun: http://meetup.com/ubuntuvancouver

Cheers for now!
