Ubuntu Team Philippines
Welcome to the website of the Ubuntu Team Philippines. The Philippine Team is made up of many members from around the country, with the goal of increasing awareness (and use) of Ubuntu within the country.

Team Goals
Four goals were discussed and agreed upon in [http://www.ubuntu-ph.org/wiki/TeamMeeting20051026 TeamMeeting20051026]. These are long-term goals which are achievable in 10 years or as long as it is valid. Specific short-term goals that are in line with these will be discussed in succeeding meetings, or by contributing here.

Projects
Here's a summary of Ongoing and Pending Projects of Ubuntu-PH. The [http://www.ubuntu-ph.org/wiki/Projects Projects Page] has a much more detailed report for both done, pending, and ongoing projects.
Site Improvement
Reorganization of Wikipages
- Some wikis are either outdated or incorrect. We need to either update it or delete those we don't need. A few pages would also be integrated into a single page.
See [http://www.ubuntu-ph.org/wiki/SiteManagement/WikiCleanup SiteManagement/WikiCleanup]
- Status: ongoing
Ubuntu-PH Template
- The current theme is outdated and needs to be changed to reflect Ubuntu.com's improvement
We will be using Ubuntu.com's template as a base. The proposed layout is located [http://knightlust.com/ProposedLayout.png here].
The template is hosted on svn://knightlust.com/ubuntu-ph/ubuntu07 and those willing to work on it will be given commit access.
