Ubuntu New Zealand: Local Community Team
|
Ever since the birth of computers, enthusiasts and fans around the world have collected together in garages, universities and pubs to talk about their interest, learn from each other and help promote their interest. Combine this with the huge popularity of Ubuntu, and you get the Ubuntu Local Community (LoCo) project.
A LoCo team is formed to help groups of Ubuntu fans and enthusiasts in a particular region to help advocate, promote, translate, develop and otherwise improve Ubuntu.
With the support of JonoBacon, the Ubuntu Community Manager, and the awesome AustralianTeam, we're launching a New Zealand team for Ubuntu (http://ubuntu-nz.org/).
What's involved?
What would you like to be involved? Activities other teams have engaged in include, but are not limited to:
development & coaching new, interested contributors
- regional customisation
- translations
- advocacy, both virtually and locally
CD & merchandise distribution
- IRC support (or just hanging out)
There are no set goals for the team yet - it's entirely up to you, the new members, to decide as a group what we should do. There are many, many ways to ContributeToUbuntu!
Involvement in a LoCo is an easy way to get involved with the global Ubuntu community for non-developers and developers alike. There are people involved from many teams within Ubuntu who can help you gain useful skills for further involvement if you are keen!
How can I get involved?
Join us on #ubuntu-nz on FreeNode or the mailing list if you're interested in helping promote Ubuntu and ensure its continued rockitude in Aotearoa.
If you're interested in localisation, the English translation team is looking for people to help with a NZ translation effort:
