This is the wiki page for the Ubuntu MA Team that is currently being formed. The team will coordinate to spread ubuntu in the Boston area. The team will be a chapter of the ["NUUbuntuTeam"]. We share their goals, but are here to focus more locally. The main advantage is we can have team meetings in person.
The Ubuntu Massachusetts Local Community Team advocates the use of Free, Open Source software and Ubuntu throughout the State of Massachusetts through outreach programs to educate, promote, supply, and support the public. Currently, our team is heavily focused around the Greater Boston area. If you are in Western Massachusetts and want to start meetings and a community there, please communicate with us and we can decide how to proceed.

Our team is a chapter of the ["NUUbuntuTeam"] which promotes Ubuntu in the North Eastern United States. We share their goals but focus locally in Massachusetts.

The Ubuntu Massachusetts Team is still working to become approved.
