This is done through CD distribution, team expansion, user-base support, and outreach programs. The Colorado Local Community Team is '''not''' meant to replace our local LUGs but rather enhance their overall experience by having a dedicated place to discuss, contribute, and gain support from local Ubuntu users. While we were not the first Local Community Team in the USA, we were the first to complete the official process and become fully recognized by the Ubuntu [[http://www.ubuntu.com/community/processes/council|Community Council]]. More up-to-date information can be found at our [[http://coloco.ubuntu-rocks.org/|website]]. == Joining == {{attachment:IconsPage/IconAutorization.png}} If you are interested in joining our team please apply on our [[https://launchpad.net/~coloradoteam/|Launchpad page]] and then subscribe to the mailing list below.
