Introduction
Our goal is to be the largest, most successful and respected Ubuntu community in the world. You can help make that happen.
Ubuntu Vancouver was originally launched in April 2008 to organize a Hardy Heron Release Party. Needles to say, it was a major success! So, since then we have decided to do much, much more:
- Educate - Organize and present courses about Ubuntu, Open Source Software, and GNU/Linux
- Advocate - Spread the word in the lower mainland
- Party - Whenever we can find an excuse (which is often)
