Ubuntu Wiki

Welcome!

This is the home page for the Florida Ubuntu Local Community Team. Started in February, 2007, the Florida Team has already grown to ten members. We are very excited with our emerging team and the ideas we are generating, and are looking forward to moving ahead with them and applying to become an approved LoCo Team in the future. In accordance with the Ubuntu philosophy, this team is, of course, open and available to anybody. If you wish to join, regardless of your knowledge and experience, please feel free to join us on our launchpad page below. And if you are not quite ready to join the team and are just looking for some help, come check out our IRC room!

Goals

• Right now, expand the team
• Design a Florida-Specific distribution of all flavors of Ubuntu
  • What would a distribution like this accomplish?
    • This would be a more personal distribution, aimed specifically at Floridians with small personal touches (ie preinstalled Florida desktops, etc).

• Possibly work with FreeGeek.org (or start a chapter here) to distribute recycled computers with K/Ed/X/Ubuntu as their base OS.

What We Do

1. Educate the Public About Ubuntu
2. Advocate Ubuntu and the F/OSS community
3. Supply CDs and CD Images (in the near future)
