About
The Ubuntu-mx is a group of persons interested in promoting, support and collaborate with Ubuntu in México. Our vision is to show the potential of the distro and make it a suitable option for schools, universities, and workcenters. We also want to show that no one is alone by using Free Software, for one lost there are many in Ubuntu-mx willing to help and offer assistance.
The group is governed by the ubuntu-mx council (conformed by 4 ubuntu-mx members) which manage the more important resources which gives to the local team it's identity, forum, website, lp project, etc. Most of the decisions are taken in group by votes (we use meetology) in one of our two monthly meetings.

Ubuntu Members
Currently the ubuntu-mx team has 7 Ubuntu Members:
Structure
New members are welcome to participate as much as they want in the ubuntu-mx in-house workloads, they can suggest, vote and pick up any propose we discuss in our meetings, a todo list is keep updated to know what tasks are assigned to whom. The team don't provide support to gain ubuntu membership only through work in the team itself, instead people interested are encouraged to join a formal ubuntu team, such as bugsquad, translators or motu. We try to redirect as much as possible in order to not duplicate efforts and help them integrate with the 'formal' community.

One of the main goals of ubuntu-mx is to work along with other even more local teams, one example of such collaboration is with Ubuntudf. Even when in the past both teams had had differences, with the income of new people we've started to iron out them. A proof of that is that the recent Ubuntu 12.10 release party was organized for both, and we've added events of both teams to this AA.
Ubuntu-mx will continue to work with other local communities to keep the ubuntu local community focus on the same targets. 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), 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/book for the Mexican and hispanic communities. We're also planning to integrate us with the latinoamerican teams, specially with the UbunConLa. Our focus on ubuntu members, is to help more ubuntu-mx users to become one, while encouraging to the current ones to demo how to achieve it and what it means. We're looking forward to participate in more non only Ubuntu events and of course in increment our number in launchpad and keep those who join active.
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.
