IrishTeam
Introduction
Welcome to the Ubuntu Ireland LoCo Team Wiki page. We will give you an idea of how we operate, make decisions, organise and contact information. We are working on a new web design, check http://www.ubuntu-ie.org from time to time to see when it's ready.
Initiatives
- Install parties - helping procure CDs.
- Web Presence - Setting up of a dedicated Website with Forums and How-To info
- To raise awareness through advertising campaigns such as flyers, verbally and through the web.
- To support Irish additions to Ubuntu code
Support and encourage translation into Gaeilge (Irish) : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-ie
- Get support from GNU/Linux sites such as Linux.ie
Ubuntu Ireland Community
These are lots of people who have helped Ubuntu Ireland. This group is for anyone in ireland who is interested in or uses Ubuntu, Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Gobuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Ubuntu JeOS or any other derivatives that may happen in the future. It is open to all types of people wether you are a novice or an expert. We encourage everyone to help out in any way they can by spreading the word and helping others.
Ubuntu Ireland does not have a 'council' like other LoCo groups do in various countries. We prefer to have an admin team that is responsible for the daily routines/duties such as artwork or creating flyers, website or wiki administration or just simply spreading the word. This can be done by anybody and if you've contributed alot of your time and shown that you are here to help the Irish community you can become part of the core team.
We hope that people will contribute to such projects as Camara - building up old PC's with Edubuntu and shipping them over to Africa.
Meetings
The main form of communication within the group at the moment is on IRC. Meetings take place twice a month in the #ubuntu-ie channel on the irc.freenode.net server.
Visit IRC Meetings for more info and upcoming meetings.
Please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat for any questions you may have.
