Introduction

This is the wiki page for the Ubuntu MA Team that is currently being formed. The team will coordinate to spread ubuntu in the Boston area. The team will be a chapter of the ["NUUbuntuTeam"]. We share their goals, but are here to focus more locally. The main advantage is we can have team meetings in person.

Goals

1. Educate the public about Ubuntu

2. Supply Ubuntu (CDs & CD images) to the general public

3. Support Ubuntu Locally, conduct community classes and symposiums
4. Conduct outreach programs via local schools, colleges community centers and libraries.
5. Spread Ubuntu Linux through out Massachusetts.
6. Provide assistance with migrating, installing, configuring and using Ubuntu
7. Work with other groups to improve peoples computing experience by increasing awareness of GNU + Linux, open source, copyleft software.

8. Start a "NU Ubuntu Foundation" within the USA to collect donations of old Computers, and install Edubuntu/Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu for Teachers and Students within the Nu Ubuntu Team region. We will specialize in recycling old MS & apple computers for Teachers, students, elderly and those in need.

We expect that more goals are to come as time passes.
