The foundations of the Hungarian Ubuntu local community were laid in December 2005, when the first version of the ubuntu.hu homepage was launched by two volunteers. It was a collaboration centric site with a wiki and a forum. People started to show up and contribute. Some members met in person in March 2006 first, while the registrations and contributions were growing steadily.

In 2006 we decided to organize a conference for users. With the help of Canonical, it was a huge success. The conference was a great opportunity to bring all the people together who wanted to contribute. The real local community was formed back then. Since then, we've been involved in a lot of things, like promoting Ubuntu at various festivals, organizing translation sprints, release parties, and other events for our local community.

== Key Details ==

 * '''Team Contact''' - László Torma <toros@ubuntu.hu>

== Roadmap ==

Here you should provide a list of things you plan on doing. Include links to where these are discussed online and on mailing lists.

 * Many our future projects are aimed with the thought in mind that there might be a chance that our government won’t support closed software products in education from next year on. As the statistics show, Ubuntu was the most popular among those students at the secondary school leaving exam who chose free software as their exam environment. We would like to provide help in preparation for their exams on Ubuntu, and support them in our forums.

 * We would like to continue our Open Way project in collaboration with the Free Software Foundation Hungary. Future aims include training videos about the use of Ubuntu’s Unity interface, Python training videos and written materials that could prepare students for the advanced ICT secondary school leaving exam.

 * We are going to give presentations in the free software track of the InfoÉra conference (Nov 2012), which is a conference for ICT teachers in Hungary.

 * We are going to promote Ubuntu at the Free Software Conference and Exhibition, Budapest in December 2012. Some of our activists are going to give presentations as well. One of our activists is the member of the organization team.

 * We are going to promote Ubuntu and give presentations at the Linux in Education Conference in April 2013. One of our activists is the member of the organization team and track leader.

 * We are going to update our Ubuntu version for the secondary school leaving exam based on Ubuntu 13.04.

 * We plan to revive our mentor program to increase the number of new activists in our LoCo. This was discussed on our last IRC meeting.

== Experience ==

List here activities that the group has already done. Again provide links to online discussions, reviews, blog entries etc:
