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!
Two pieces of news out of Ontario:
Everyone and their dead badger probably knows already, but the Ontario GNU Linux Fest 2009 is on this Saturday, 24 October 2009 in the Province City of Toronto. Advanced reg is closed, but you can still get in at the door Saturday morning.
On a more strictly Ubuntu note, Darcy told our excellent mailng list that:
As promised, we're holding a release party for Ubuntu 9.10 next
Thursday at Kwartzlab. It's at 283 Duke St W in Kitchener.
Details here: http://kwartzlab.ca/karmic
Come out to the lab at 7, and we'll be demoing new stuff with the
local LUG, installing and upgrading off a local repo mirror, eating
cake and generally socializing.
I'm planning on being at the Ubuntu booth at Ontario Linux Fest parts
of Saturday handing out flyers as well. Drop by and say hello if
you're there.
