| In addition to keep working in our successful activities, we're planning to get more involved with educational institutes.

One of the main goals of ubuntu-mx is to work along with other local teams, one example of such collaboration is with Ubuntudf. Even when in the past both teams have had differences, with the addition of new people we've started to cool them off. A proof of that is that the recent Ubuntu 12.10 release party was hosted byboth, and we've added events of both teams to this ApprovalApp.
Ubuntu-mx will continue to work with other local communities in order to keep the community focused on the same targets, since we know the distances between us may be too large some times. We'll act as mediators between Canonical resources and local teams, and we'll do it in the hope that it would help to bring more ubuntu related events outside the center of the country.
Roadmap
Done
Podcast: http://podcast.ubuntumexico.org/
UDW for spanish users: http://www.ubuntumexico.org/node/1823
CD distribution: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMxTeam/Marketing/Distribuidores
Our main focus has been to provide help to other Ubuntu users, we've started scheduling constant meetings in order to improve our projects and keep the community fresh. We've worked together to provide a podcast (currently halted... sorry about that), interpretation of the UDW, translation, distribution of CD/DVD's and organization of Ubuntu events such as UGJ and release parties.
The ubuntu-mx team is a bridge between the local community and the formal one, we try to help new ubuntu-mx members to get started with the activities they can do to improve Ubuntu mainstream. We do that by running ubuntu hours where we introduce them to the testing, bugsquad and translators teams.
TODO
- More ubuntu members (at least 1 for year)
- Participation in more non only Ubuntu events (2 for year)
- Exceed 100 user in lp
In addition to keep working in our successful activities, we're planning to get more involved with educational institutes. Our first step on this is to create a manual/how-to for the Mexican and hispanic people. We're also planning to integrate with other Latin American teams, specially UbunConLa. Our main goal with Ubuntu members, is to help more ubuntu-mx users become united, while encouraging the current members to mentor on how to achieve the membership and what it means. We're looking forward to participate in more events (not exclusively Ubuntu, but other Open-Source and Free Software events as well) and of course in enhance our number (and influence) in launchpad.
Social
Our main social account is @ubuntumx on twitter, our followers are distributed all over the world, 49.8% of them are male, 44.7% undetermined and 5.5% female. The majority speak Spanish (82.8%) and the remainder, English or both.
We also have a Facebook fan page: here. Our objective is to gather all the LoCo related info and promote interactivity both in the social networks and in our traditional channels (forum, launchpad, IRC channel).
