What is the Ubuntu Idaho LoCo All About?

The Idaho Ubuntu Local Community (LoCo) Team is primarily a group of people who are enthusiasts of Ubuntu Linux, and secondarily advocate all flavors of Linux and Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS), and the Ubuntu philosophy at large.

We endeavor to work with LUG's and other community groups to pool our resources, to help reach our goals of advocacy, education and community building. We require that all Ubuntu Idaho members follow the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.

Membership

There are a lot of options for getting involved with the Idaho Ubuntu LoCo.
