Projects

The Ubuntu Australian Team is currently developing a few key projects to help promote and raise awareness of Ubuntu in Australia.

Key projects that are currently being developed include:

  • Ubuntu-In-Homes
  • Ubuntu-In-Schools
  • Ubuntu-In-Business
  • Ubuntu-In-Not-for-Profit

Ubuntu Friendly Notebooks - a guide to purchasing Ubuntu Friendly Notebooks in Australia.

For further information on these projects please see the Projects page.

Talks

The current ubuntu-au logo was decided upon at the April 4 meeting. Designs, submissions and thoughts for the logo can be viewed on the Logo page. Logo #7 was chosen as the official Ubuntu-au logo.

Local CD distribution

APC Magazine (August edition) has Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on its DVD-ROM \o/ .

It works exactly like the Dapper Desktop CD - Live Environment with GUI installer. A DVD reader is required though (of course).

Customising Ubuntu

Our Customisation page describes ways to customise Ubuntu for Australian conditions. Also see our local apt mirrors page - LocalAptMirrors
