The Indiana Ubuntu Local Community Team

Introduction

The Indiana Ubuntu Local Community Team is a group of Ubuntu users and enthusiasts from around the state of Indiana that are here to help each other learn the many ropes of Ubuntu. We are a great place for newcomers to seek help and education.

We also work to advocate free and open source solutions where possible, especially Ubuntu.

Join Us!

If you're in Indiana, and you use or are interested in using Ubuntu, we want you!

[https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-in Join our mailing list] and/or [http://indiana.ubuntuforums.org head on over to our forum]. If you're into real-time chatting, you can find us in #ubuntu-indiana on irc.freenode.net. If you've got a launchpad account, you might as well [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us-indiana join our launchpad team]!

We are a brand new community, and we need you. If we're going to build a lively community, we're going to need people! We need you to help us be more than just the sum of our online resources.

And we need you to help us define what we direction we'll be going.

We ask that you follow the very common sense [http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct Ubuntu Code of Conduct] when interacting in our community as in any Ubuntu community. You may find that following it in all situations is a pretty good idea, too :-).

Community Resources

So far, we've got:

• This wiki page

• A mailing list at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-in

• A forum at http://indiana.ubuntuforums.org

• An IRC channel: #ubuntu-indiana on irc.freenode.net - (logs may be found at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/free/)

• A launchpad team at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us-indiana

There's a lot of work yet to be done.

For instance, we're trying to decide on a logo for the Indiana Team. We've had a few submissions already:

• [http://www.cinlug.org/gallery/inloco/ From Ana Greavu]

• [http://www.mccsc.edu/~sruiz/Cof-Inflag2.png Simón added a gradient to one of Ana's]

• [http://davidernst.net/photos/thumbnails.php?album=11 From Priscilla Borges]

Ana Greavu also created flyers for the Indiana Team:

Upcoming Events

• We are planning to have a presence at the [http://www.ussg.iu.edu/indexa055.html?option=displaypage%26Itemid=78%26op=page%26SubMenu= IU Linux Fest] this year under the auspices of either the [http://www.cinlug.org Central Indiana Linux Users' Group], the [http://www.bloomingtonlinux.org Bloomington Linux Users' Group], or both. We will have a couple of laptops for people to be able to demo Ubuntu, both with and without some Beryl eye-candy. We have asked for a Conference Pack from Canonical, and it's been shipped, it will hopefully arrive on time. SimonARuiz will be giving a presentation about the use of Ubuntu at Bloomington High School North.
