The Argentina LoCo is looking forward to join together the knowledge of all Ubuntu users and contribute substantially to the development of the Ubuntu project. We have many very active and eager members and wish to channel all that energy into places where no work is being done at all, or progress is very slow. We also would like to help to reach out to spanish speaking users which in one way or the other are being alienated because of there lack of understanding of english.

Key Details

Roadmap

Here you should provide a list of things you plan on doing. Include links to where these are discussed online and on mailing lists.

  • Ubuntu Friendly Hardware - We want to contact local retailers and help them setup PCs and laptops that are 100% Ubuntu friendly and help users find them easily. We plan to participate actively in: [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFriendlyHardwareSuppliers]

  • Support network for beginners - Setup a team of people dedicated to helping newcommers to Ubuntu from windows or other distribution to get them started.

  • Ubuntu Marketing - We are currently drafting very simple and direct videos oriented to Windows users by graphically showing them how easy Ubuntu is, even compared to Windows. We plan to work as closely as possible with the Ubuntu marketing team on this. Discussed in: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=301524]

  • Help distribute shipit CDs locally - We plan to offer our help to distribute shipit CDs locally adding 2 o 3 strategical geographic points to make it as cheaper and easier as possible for CDs to reach users. This is currently a big problem due to custums retaining a big percentage of shipments.

  • Organise Meetings - We want to organize informal meetings between members, and installfests to help people start using Ubuntu from scratch. We will depend on our support team for this.

Experience

  • Distribution of "Powered by Ubuntu" stickers - We have been distributing for months the stickers provided by System76 all over the country to users, LUGs and we've been to conferences so they could distribute them among attendees. [http://system76.com/index.php/cPath/53_64]

  • Translated the Ubuntu Code of Conduct - We translated as accurately as we could the Ubuntu Code of Conduct for all users who speak spanish (and maybe not enough english) to be able to understand and follow it. [http://www.uluga.com.ar/wiki/CoC]

  • Forum up and running - Currently we are the most active LoCo forum. There is a lot of activity and members help out others to solve problems on a daily basis. http://uluga.ubuntuforums.org/

  • Mailing list up and running - We have our mailing list up and running and are currently migrating from googlegroups ([http://groups.google.com/group/uluga]) to lists.ubuntu.com

  • IRC channel up and running - We've got our IRC channel setup in #uluga on freenode

  • Website up and running - We've got our website setup and ready to hold as much howto's as we can put into it [http://www.ubuntu-ar.com.ar/]
