Since then our LoCo has become one of the largest FOSS communities in Greece. We run a website, a wiki (in maintenance), a mailing list, a forum and an irc channel. We are also active on social media so we can exchange ideas, promote Ubuntu and FOSS in general, support users and help Ubuntu development. == Key Details == * '''Date''' - July 2014 * '''Team Contacts''' * '''[[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/geochr|George Christofis]]''' * '''Simos Xenitellis''' * '''Membership''' - 396 members as of June 2014 (461 in 2012, 377 in 2010, 215 in 2008) https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gr --((https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-greek-users) * '''Ubuntu Members''' - 9 of our members have been approved for Official Ubuntu membership: || Name || Launchpad || Forum || ||eliasps||[[https://launchpad.net/~eliasps|eliasps]]||eliasps|| ||salih emin||[[ https://launchpad.net/~salih-emin|salih-emin]]||CORTEXlinux|| ||NikTh||[[https://launchpad.net/~nick-athens30|NikTh]]||Learner|| ||simosx||[[https://launchpad.net/~simosx|simosx]]||simosx|| ||alkisg||[[https://launchpad.net/~alkisg|alkisg]]||alkisg|| ||ntoulasd||[[https://launchpad.net/~ntoulasd|ntoulasd]]||the_eye|| ||Phantomas||[[https://launchpad.net/~phantomas|Phantomas]]||Phantomas|| ||medigeek||[[https://launchpad.net/~medigeek|medigeek]]||medigeek|| ||hakermania||[[https://launchpad.net/~hakermania|hakermania]]||hakermania|| * '''Launchpad's Profile''' - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gr ( old name: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-greek-users) * '''Local Community Team Portal''' - http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-gr (old name:http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-greek-users) * '''Ubuntu discourse''' - http://discourse.ubuntu.com/category/local-teams/ubuntu-greece * '''Website''' - http://www.ubuntu-gr.org/ * '''Forum''' - http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org/ * '''Wiki''' - http://wiki.ubuntu-gr.org/ (under maintenance) * '''Mailing List''' - ubuntu-gr on lists.ubuntu.com (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gr/) * '''IRC''' - #ubuntu-gr @ irc.freenode.net (irc://freenode/ubuntu-gr) * '''Webchat''' - http://www.ubuntu-gr.org/webchat/ * '''Planet''' - http://planet.ubuntu-gr.org/ * '''Pastebin''' - http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/ * '''Imagebin''' - http://imagebin.ubuntu-gr.org/ * '''Photo gallery''' - http://www.ubuntu-gr.org/photogallery/ * '''Social media''' * '''[[http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_190076994373474|Facebook group]]''' - 1.610+ members * '''[[https://www.facebook.com/ubuntugr|Facebook page]]''' - 730+ followers * '''[[https://plus.google.com/communities/113489005803686865491|G+ group]]''' - 820+ members * '''[[https://plus.google.com/+ubuntugr|G+ page]]''' - 280+ followers * '''[[http://twitter.com/ubuntugr|Twitter]]''' - 1830+ followers * '''[[http://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialUbuntuGreece|Youtube channel]]''' - 19 videos and 203 subscribers == Our Projects == * ''' QA team''' - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugr-qa - This team aims at testing the development branches to ensure quality adaptation for Greek and Greek-o-phone users. * ''' Ubuntu +1 section''' - http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org/viewforum.php?f=70 - For discussion about bugs and distroseries under development. * '''Troubleshooting''' - http://troubleshooting.ubuntu-gr.org/ * '''Imagebin''' - http://imagebin.ubuntu-gr.org/ - 1600+ Uploads during first year (7/2011) * '''Automatic forum signature generator''' - http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15460 - a graphical utility that facilitates users to document the main software and hardware specs of their computer and attach those informations in their forum signatures, making problem solving easier, faster and more efficient. * '''Dmesg parser''' - http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22124&http#p230101 - a program that evaluates dmesg messages (Alpha state) == Statistics == * ''[[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-gr/|Mailing List]]'' - More than 440 mailing list members and more than 6.500 messages in total (in 2012 430 members with 5.000 posts, in 2010 350 members and about 2,000 posts) * ''[[http://forum.ubuntu-gr.org/|Forum ]]'' - 11,750 members posted ~310.500 posts in 26.700 topics since the start in May 2008 (9.500 members in 2012, 240.000 posts in 21.000 topics) == Roadmap == 1.
