Hey, man, don't you know we're LoCo?

Introduction

This is the Ubuntu New Mexico Team USA. Many of us are in Albuquerque. However, many of us are not. We are statewide, and want to reach out to everyone in New Mexico. We have members from Santa Fe to Las Cruces. Our goal is to promote Ubuntu, Open Source Software, and the ideal behind Ubuntu -- "Humanity to everyone".
