Gaming on Ubuntu
Even geeks need time away from coding.
Ubuntu-AU Gamers
We are proposing to start a cross game gaming clan for Ubuntu-AU members. The goal of the group is to interact socially while still being able to promote Ubuntu to other gamers but the use of in game clan tags. The only requirement would be to be playing the game from within Ubuntu and for people who are wearing the clan tags to follow the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.
Suggestions for clan tags
There are a few suggestions for clan tags as follows:
- [UAG] - Ubuntu-Au Gamers
- [UGA] - Ubuntu Gamers Australia
- |UAU| - Ubuntu-AU
- Other ideas?
Games
These can be split into 3 groups, those that can be played natively under Ubuntu, those that require emulation software such as WINE, and web based games that can be played inside your browser.

I think as part of the requirement to use the clan tags it would be useful to keep a list so that if we have any problems with server admins we can have a list of people who we know to be wearing the clan tags in case someone tries to do silly things.
