2014 ReVerification Application for the Greek Team (Ubuntu-gr)
The Greek Ubuntu LoCo team started in 2005 with a simple website and a mailing list. Since then our LoCo has become one of the largest FOSS communities in Greece. We run a website, a wiki (in maintenance), a mailing list, a forum and an irc channel. We are also active on social media so we can exchange ideas, promote Ubuntu and FOSS in general, support users and help Ubuntu development.
