Introduction

The Ubuntu Beginners Team exists to enhance the initial experience of new Ubuntu users and to guide existing Ubuntu users to become part of the global Ubuntu community. We have many Focus Groups involved in different parts of the community. You can find out more by using the header section at the top of this page. Feel free to poke around by reading our Mission Statement, checking out what our Focus Groups are up to, and learning about our team Structure.

If you are interested in contributing to the Beginners Team, see the Membership page. There you will find information on getting involved, finding us on IRC, and meeting the team.

Focus Groups

Many members of the team contribute to the community in different ways. Focus Groups allow team members to direct their efforts in different areas of Ubuntu community. We also use Focus Groups to help keep the team organized and running smoothly.
