Welcome

This is the wiki page of the UK Local Community Team. We aim to provide free community support to users of the various flavours of Ubuntu as well as advocating the use of Ubuntu to individuals and organisations alike. We keep in touch via our active email list and IRC chatroom.

Who is this group for?

This group is for anyone in the United Kingdom (but we welcome non-UK residents) 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, however if you join the launchpad team you are then able to vote in polls organised by the group. Discussion happens on the mailing list which you are free to join. There is also an active group of members who chat in real time on IRC in the #ubuntu-uk channel on irc.freenode.net.

It would be nice if you could update the LUG Members Page if you are indeed a member of a LUG or Other Groups Members Page if you are a member of any other Linux or Free Software related groups.

Support

There is a whole load of documentation at http://help.ubuntu.com/ but feel free to ask a question on the mailing list or in IRC if you need help with anything. We also maintain a list of some UK-specific hardware support. Support is also available from the global Ubuntu community

Meetings

We currently don't have any face-to-face meetings scheduled, but if you would like to help organise such a meeting, please see the Local Meetings page.

We do meet regularly online via IRC, and the logs of those meetings can be found on the Meeting Notes page.

Completely independent of Ubuntu UK, you will find a warm welcome for Ubuntu and all Linux users at your local Linux User Group, of which there are hundreds throughout the UK.
