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.

2. Visit our webpage often for updates and news.

3. Chat with other members in the IRC channel, #ubuntu-us-id.

Meetings and Activities

We have just started up our LoCo group, and are currently meeting in the Boise area, the first Saturday of every month, at 9 AM. Talks are underway to add an additional monthly (or every other month) meeting, also on Saturdays, but at 12:30, and a monthly online meeting on our IRC channel - more to come on that soon. We will also be having occasional Install Fests and Advanced Topics Talks.

We also post social activities, links to other community activities and/or charity events in our LoCo Calendar.

Team reports and meeting notes can be found on our meetings page.

Team Goals

Our consistent goals are, as stated in the introduction above:

• advocate Ubuntu Linux, education and community

Our current team goals include:

• as a new LoCo team, we need to build our membership

• while identifying and encouraging members who are able to participate in team leadership roles
