About Ubuntu Ohio

Ubuntu Ohio is a group of enthusiastic people dedicated to spreading Ubuntu in the great state of Ohio, the 7th most populous state in the United States. We are known as a LoCo Team, which stands for a Local Community of Ubuntu users. We often get together at conventions, meetings, parties, and online.

For more information about us check out our home page here, and our Launchpad group here. Our Mailing List archives can be found here.
