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!

The next release of Ubuntu, 9.10, codenamed "Karmic Koala", is due out later this month!

The Release Candidate was released yesterday, if you're willing to test not-yet-finalised software, go get a copy and play with it! The final version will be out in about a week for those of you who'd prefer to wait for the real thing!

Release Parties!

There's a strong tradition of Release Parties with each new version of Ubuntu, and we'll try and get as many Canadian parties some publicity here!

If you're doing something in your area to mark Karmic's release, let the Ubuntu Canada Mailing List know, and we'll try and get it up here on the website in time too!
