Team Info
The team will coordinate to spread Ubuntu in Massachusetts. Currently, our team is heavily focused around the Boston/Cambridge 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 more locally in Eastern Massachusetts.
The Ubuntu Massachusetts Team is still working to become approved.
