  • Our 1st Approval Meeting Application detailing how we became a LoCo is linked, this application page aims to show how we have grown and what we have done since.

The Ubuntu-ie LoCo is a group of active and diverse individuals who strive to promote Ubuntu here in Ireland. We like to meet up and share our knowledge and promote Ubuntu wherever possible by attending events and organising our own.

Roadmap

This group is for anyone in the Republic of Ireland who uses or is interested in all flavours of Ubuntu, whether it's Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu or any other variation. This group caters for people of all technical abilities from the person who has never heard of linux or Ubuntu to a kernel developer.

Experience

Since our last loco approval we have continued to do the following:

Monthly IRC Meetings

  • We have consistently held monthly IRC meetings, refining the structure to ensure efficiency. Minutes and logs of these meetings can be found here. We have embraced the new LoCo Directory Meeting feature for scheduling our routine meetings. We are currently using the Wiki and LoCo Dir to track meeting data concurrently but hope to migrate fully to the LoCo Directory in the near future.

Team Reports

  • We have produced 23 Team Reports covering every month since our approval in a timely and prompt manner. ( Full list of Team Reports )

Hold Release Parties

Social Events
  • We have held and participated in regular social events

    • Details of these social events can be found here, here and here

    • Lots of Geeknic photos here

OSSBarcamp
  • We have continued to help organise and participate in OSSBarcamp events

    • Lots of photos of the various OSSbarcamps can be found here. Event details for September 2010 are located here, for April 2010 here and for September 2009 here

Hold Ubuntu Jams
  • We have held Ubuntu Jams of various flavours

    • Summary of these Jam can be found here, here and here

    • For the first time in April 2010 Ubuntu Ireland had two venues participating in the Ubuntu Global Jam. Some photos of these events can be found here and here. A nice write up of our participation in the August 2010 Global Jam can be found here

A link page to summaries of our past events is located here

Since our last loco approval, we have done these new things:

LoCo CD pack distribution

  • We have developed an efficient system to distribute each LoCo pack of Ubuntu CDs around the country. To facilitate this we have fostered good relationships with University and College Computer Socities as well as city Hackerspaces. A blog post regarding the recent Natty CD allocation to the 091labs Hackerspace in Galway shows how well this system works in terms of Ubuntu advocacy. This blog post can be found here. We also use social media to promote each release and happily dispatch copies of CDs to individuals who request them.

Monthly Ubuntu Hours
  • In January 2010 we began holding monthly Ubuntu Hours in Dublin.
  • Towards the end of 2010 we started to hold Ubuntu Hour events in other cities such as Limerick and Cork.

    • Details of these Ubuntu hour Events can be found on the LoCo Directory. Some photos can be found here with more here

Increased Geographic activity
  • We have worked hard at expanding beyond a Dublin centric grouping with activities now occurring in Limerick, Cork and Galway (Ireland's 2nd, 3rd and 4th largest cities).

  • In collaboration with the University of Limerick Skynet Computer Society we participated in a one day series of talks. Details here.

New Social and Advocacy Events
  • We have increased our range of regular social meetups (Quiz and Bowling events)

  • We maintained a booth and distributed CDs at The Business Value of Open Source Software event which was held in Dublin on the 16th of November 2010 (Event details here and here). Mark Shuttleworth presented at this event. A short write up of this event can be found here
