A little bit of history

The Argentinean Team was started on June of 2006

Our focus

Since day one, our focus has been providing strong online support for new users. For that, we took advantage of the communication infrastructure the Ubuntu Community provides: mailing list, ubuntuforums

Mailing list

irc: #ubuntu-ar

We use the irc channel as part of our organizational channels

Forums

Official Loco Forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=189 Up and running since November of 2006. One of the main venues of communication it has more than 6915 threads up to this moment. It's divided in four sections: general, hardware, software and community.

Launchpad

Loco Team LP group created on September of 2006 and it has currently 144 active members (plus 199 inactive ones). The main use we give to the LP group is as the meta group where all organization related things (about the group, events, etc) are decided. We use the LP mailing list (https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ar/) for this purpose. All members in the mailing list have voice and vote and things are decided by simple majority after discussion (we are argentinean and it means we like to discuss a lot). Every user of the other communication channels (support ones) are encouraged to subscribe to the meta mailing list and participate in the organization of the group.
