Ubuntu Wiki

Welcome

This is the wiki page of the Kentucky Local Community Team. We aim to provide community support to users of the various flavours of Ubuntu Linux as well as other distrobutions and advocating their use by individuals and organizations alike.

Who is this group for?

This group is for anyone in Kentucky who uses or is interested in some flavour of Ubuntu, whether it's Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu or any others, including other distros. This group is for people of all technical abilities from I've-never-heard-of-linux all the way to I'm-an-Ubuntu-Master.

Aims

• To provide consultancy and tutor services to new users.
• To distributing Ubuntu CDs to businesses, schools, institutions, organisations and individuals.
• To develop an Ubuntu identity.
• To develop a local community developer.
• To advocate free and open source solutions (FOSS) as alternatives where they exist.

How do I join?

Come and chat in our Internet Relay Chatroom (IRC) #ubuntu-ky (it's on irc.freenode.net). As of this moment we do not have a mailing list or a forum but both are in the works.

Meetings

Since we are still trying to set things up meetings will be sporadic for the next few weeks to a month. The plan is to try to meet online in the #ubuntu-ky chat room once per week and then have a face to face once per month. This is subject to change at this point though.

How Ubuntu-ky Can Help You

Are you stuck with something? Can't find the answer? Login to our IRC channel and we'll do our best to help out. If your problem needs to be solved in person, a volunteer will offer to help. Alternatively, if you want to talk to a wider audience about Ubuntu, Linux and FOSS - feel free to post in the forum (once it is set up).

How You Can Help Ubuntu-ky

By joining the team! Merely joining and participating would be help enough. Having a steady number of members is encouraging to all in the group.
