Welcome

This is the wiki page of the Pakistan Local Community Team. We aim to provide free community support to users of the various flavours of Ubuntu Linux as well as advocating the use of Ubuntu to individuals and organisations alike. We plan to hold regular meetings around Pakistan as well as keeping in touch via our active mailing list and IRC chatroom.

Who is this group for?

This group is for anyone in Pakistan who uses or is interested in some flavour of Ubuntu, whether it's Ubuntu, Kubuntu or any others. This group is for people of all technical abilities from I've-never-heard-of-linux all the way to I'm-an-Ubuntu-Master.

How do I join?

There is no official process to join, just sign up to our Mailing List or come and chat in our Internet Relay Chat (IRC) chatroom (#ubuntu-pk on irc.freenode.net). You can also add yourself to the list of current members in launchpad.

If you are interested in contributing to Ubuntu-Linux Development activities, you can do so through Translating Ubuntu into Urdu language and you can sign up at [ubuntu-l10n-urd@lists.ubuntu.com l10n Urdu Translation Mailing List] and add yourself to the current members list at launchpad.
