Ubuntu GNOME Community

Starting from 2-Nov-2013, we shall have 3 main groups: Beginners, Users and Members.

Ubuntu GNOME Beginners

Are you new to Linux and/or Ubuntu GNOME? do you have the passion and desire to start learning your first steps in this magnificent world? are you a good reader and listener? do you wish to help Ubuntu GNOME and make this system even better but your limited skills and experience hold you back? are you willing to dedicate some of your time in learning new stuff?

If the answer to the above questions is YES, then you are on the right place. Ubuntu GNOME Community is very friendly and extremely helpful. All of us have been there before. NO one was born with Linux Experiences or Skills, we have learned that the hard way or the easy way and we are still learning. We don't mind at all, while we are learning and building one of the most exciting Linux Distribution in the world, to help others to understand more about Linux/Ubuntu GNOME as long as they are willing to and want that

Requirements

Nothing except you join our General and Main Mailing List but it is very recommended to have a look at all our Official Channels and join our channels on Facebook, Google+ and/or Twitter if you have account on of of these social media channels.

Ubuntu GNOME Users

Ubuntu GNOME users are those who are interested in Ubuntu GNOME and using it. The purpose of this group is:

1. To identify and organize Ubuntu GNOME users.
2. Give Ubuntu GNOME users the opportunity to help the team by participating and contributing.

So, if you are a user who already started to use Ubuntu GNOME, have been using Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu or any official flavour for quite sometime and you are familiar with with many things, if you have been around for a while then you fit on this category or group.

Users are not required to decided many hours from their time to help and support the system on frequent basis but because most of Ubuntu GNOME users love the system a lot and very much willing to help, contribute and support the whole community as much as they can,they are then more than welcome to help and each help and contributions are highly appreciated.

Only whenever possible, whenever you have extra spare time and you would like to help Ubuntu GNOME grow bigger and better, you are more than welcome to contribute to Ubuntu GNOME project. We ask for at least one hour per week as the minimum time you can spare but means a lot for us

Requirements

• Subscribe Ubuntu GNOME Mailing List.

• Join our social media channels if you have an account.

• Help and support Ubuntu GNOME Beginners.

So, the best help and support for Ubuntu GNOME users they can really provide is to help the beginners to understand the system and make their first step easily and correctly. This is a huge help that we do need and seek.

Note Those users who find themselves very much ready to take their contributions to the next level, then please have a read on the next section
