Ubuntu Massachusetts Local Community Team Page

The Ubuntu Massachusetts Local Community Team is a group working to advocate Ubuntu throughout the state of Massachusetts.

Team Info

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.

Goals

  1. Educate
    • Teach the public about Ubuntu
  2. Promote
    • Advocate Ubuntu to schools, libraries, and families
  3. Supply
    • Give out the necessary supplies for getting Ubuntu
    • Get Ubuntu out through CD's and pre-installed on machines
  4. Support
    • Provide local support for Ubuntu
    • Make getting Ubuntu easy by assisting with migrating, installing, configuring, and using Ubuntu

All done in accordance to the [https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct/1.0.1 Ubuntu Code of Conduct]

Our goals may expand and evolve as time passes
