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.

The Philippines (Filipino: Pilipinas), is an island nation located in Southeast Asia, with Manila as its capital city. The Philippine Archipelago comprises 7,107 islands in the western Pacific Ocean.

Team Goals

Four goals were discussed and agreed upon in 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.

  1. Spread GNU/Linux and FOSS in the Philippines using Ubuntu Goals
  2. Translate Ubuntu to Languages in the Philippines Goals
  3. Document Ubuntu Usage Patterns in the Philippines, and Provide Solutions and Support thereof
  4. Work with Other Communities in the Philippines

Seminars and Gatherings

Software Freedom Day 2007

The recently concluded Software Freedom Day 2007 was a success. It was held at the Advanced Science and Technology Institute in Manila.

Proposed Roadmap for 2009

The recent change of LoCo Contact of Ubuntu-PH was brought about by months of inactivity by members of the community. We are deeply saddened by the fact that Filipino Ubuntu Users are growing, but our decreased contributions has them turning elsewhere. We are in the unique position to aid individuals and organizations alike, and as a community, it is our obligation to do so.

The goal of this article is to revitalize the team. Attract new users and encourage current members to donate an hour or two of their time for our cause. Please don't hesitate to add or comment on any item listed here. Remember, this is a community effort.

Re-Organization of Ubuntu-PH

The purpose of this item is to ensure that we have an individual who can represent the team for each and every Contact Resource we have at our disposal. We shall adopt the Buddy System so representatives can help each other and cover as much ground as possible.

IRC

As detailed on the Ubuntu-PH Updates email, the LoCo IRC Channel shall remain in the very capable hands of https://edge.launchpad.net/~jgotangco. Everything #ubuntu-ph shall fall under his discretion. We do, however, need one more member of the community to stand-in and help Jerome.

Forum

Our LoCo Forum is currently moderated by Loell Anthony Erecre and Juan Carlos Torres. However, Carlos made it known that he's pursuing projects outside of Ubuntu and won't be able to fulfill his duties as a Moderator. Dax Solomon Umaming has stepped up and sent a request to replace Carlos to ubuntu-geek.

A request has been made by the LoCo Contact to Ubuntu RT to changeover the ownership of the LoCo Mailing List. We will need two members to serve as List Administrator once the transition is complete.
