Ubuntu Wiki

Welcome

This is the home page for the Ubuntu North Carolina (NC) Local Community (LoCo) Team. Started in August, 2007, the NC Team is steadily growing. The NC LoCo Team is a group of Ubuntu-Linux enthusiasts whose common goal is to share Ubuntu with all areas of the Tar Heel state. In accordance with the Ubuntu philosophy, this team is open and available to all. Our members range from non-technical end user (NTEU) to Ubuntu-Linux Kernel developers. If you'd like to contribute to Ubuntu-Linux, we encourage you to join the team. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary.

If you are not quite ready to join the team, and are just looking for some help, come check out our LoCo team support options.
