== Ubuntu Colombia Reapproval ==

Ubuntu Colombia is one of the most traditional LoCo Teams within the regional and global communities, specially with the Spanish language ones. As Ubuntu Colombia is conscious about the importance to keep being recognized as an active and official LoCo Team,  we've created this wiki page to summarize the main activities that we've done during the last two years.
== Ubuntu Colombia Re-approval ==

Ubuntu Colombia is one of the most traditional LoCo Teams within the regional and global communities, specially with the Spanish language ones. As Ubuntu Colombia is conscious about the importance to keep being recognized as an active and official LoCo Team, we've created this Wiki page to summarize the main activities that we've done during the last three years. We know that the re-approval application should be done in 2016, but as many other communities we faced some problems during 2015 to 2016, now we are again active, and we want to continue spreading the FLOSS voice, the Ubuntu philosophy and the Ubuntu OS and related services.

=== Ubuntu Colombia Members ===

Ubuntu-Co has decreased the number of official members in Launchpad, however with the activities that we are doing, we have increased the members in our different channels and more than that, the people collaborating with the team that have made possible the update of this Wiki and has support the different activities that we report here. We had a process for the membership, that we plan to update after we accomplish the re-verification because it includes the creation of a Ubuntu Wiki that has been difficult.


=== Council ===

Ubuntu Colombia is being administered by the council, composed by official community members. Within its tasks, it should help fulfilling the community's interests in general, serve as support for different activities and events held all over the country, look for a harmony and orderly development in the community growth and help in establishing cooperation agreements between different LoCo Teams and communities within Colombia and other countries, within other several tasks.

As we mentioned before, we faced a crisis in 2015-2016 and the Council is not fully active, we plan to continue working at least one year more, in order to boost the community and after that call new elections.

== Multimedia ==

Looking for a viral distribution way of spreading Ubuntu, we've created some videos available in our YouTube's channel, where you'll find videos promoting Global Jam, Ubuntu Hour, Final users experiences, workshops and conferences given by the community.

[[http://www.youtube.com/user/ubuntucolombia|Youtube's channel]]

One of the most popular and interesting videos is this one about a newcomer lawyer to Ubuntu, please check it right here:

== Projects ==

Ubuntu Colombia from its inception started a work model based on projects looking to fulfill the typical needs. At this moment the projects are maintained and working according to the participant members pace, but its importance is growing.

== Fundacion CaribeMesh and Ubuntu Colombia ==

Ubuntu Colombia y la Fundación CaribeMesh se encuentran trabajando desde hace 5 meses en un Proyecto de Educación con Software Libre para las escuelas de escasos recursos de colombia. Este proyecto empezó con un piloto que se esta realizando en la Ciudad de Cartagena de indias, Colombia.

El piloto comenzó en un Colegio en el Sur de la ciudad de Cartagena, en el Colegio Ciudadeka 2000 el cual empezamos realizando una encuesta para ver la posibilidad de realizar cursos y actividades en el colegio. Estos fueron los resultados. [[http://www.youblisher.com/p/863296-Informe-de-Encuesta-I-E-Ciudadela-2000/ |Ver Resultados.]].

[[http://caribemesh.org/blog/post.php?p=7 |Ver noticia. ]].

En estos momento estamos trabajando con al rededor de 60 estudiantes de los grados 9 y 10 de la institución, los cuales se les esta brindando un curso de Software Libre y se realizo la migración de la sala de sistemas a Edubuntu.

Algunos estudiantes estuvieron presentes en la UbuConLA 2014, el cual fue una experiencia enriquecedora para ellos.

A month before the day of the event, the community began to spread it through social networks and flyers, the same day of the event was counted on the presence of an on-line radio that interviewed each lecturer. Canonical supported us with a budget for the development of the event (1,500 USD) and requested publicity material directly from CANONICAL and we bought publicity material to publicize the UBUNTU CO event and the UBUNTU CO community (keychains, prints, personalized UBUNTU cards, a facing hall Display, stickers, etc).It counted with the support of the high council of the TIC and the mayoralty of Bogotá for the place and its adaptation. The venue was divided into four parts:
a. Government and culture that consisted of conferences related to government policies and citizen culture in front of the technology (open data, citizen digital services etc.)
b. An area set for the realization of workshops dedicated to the practical part such as the installation of a LAPP server, implementation of firewalls in high availability etc [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw2oPausZe17Mm9QVFFZN0NFVTQ/view|Photo]].
c. The zone of [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw2oPausZe17LWQyQWNnekotSVU/view|installers]] consisted of tables with what is necessary to install from free software to a free operating system.

Ubuntu Colombia 2017 - 2019

Ubuntu Colombia Re-approval

Ubuntu Colombia is one of the most traditional LoCo Teams within the regional and global communities, specially with the Spanish language ones. As Ubuntu Colombia is conscious about the importance to keep being recognized as an active and official LoCo Team, we've created this Wiki page to summarize the main activities that we've done during the last three years. We know that the re-approval application should be done in 2016, but as many other communities we faced some problems during 2015 to 2016, now we are again active, and we want to continue spreading the FLOSS voice, the Ubuntu philosophy and the Ubuntu OS and related services.

Ubuntu Colombia Members

Ubuntu-Co has decreased the number of official members in Launchpad, however with the activities that we are doing, we have increased the members in our different channels and more than that, the people collaborating with the team that have made possible the update of this Wiki and has support the different activities that we report here. We had a process for the membership, that we plan to update after we accomplish the re-verification because it includes the creation of a Ubuntu Wiki that has been difficult.

Council

Ubuntu Colombia is being administered by the council, composed by official community members. Within its tasks, it should help fulfilling the community's interests in general, serve as support for different activities and events held all over the country, look for a harmony and orderly development in the community growth and help in establishing cooperation agreements between different LoCo Teams and communities within Colombia and other countries, within other several tasks.

As we mentioned before, we faced a crisis in 2015-2016 and the Council is not fully active, we plan to continue working at least one year more, in order to boost the community and after that call new elections.
