Welcome to the Ubuntu Venezuela LoCo Team ReApproval Application

Ubuntu Venezuela

From the beginning, the Ubuntu Venezuela, was built by people that used different distros and free operative systems, but due to it's rapid growth (as to become the largest community of Linux in the country!), many users of other distributions saw the benefits of a big and helpful community... and Ubuntu became their primary operating system! We value and appreciate our relationship with the broader GNU/Linux/FOSS community

It usually consists of a full day of conferences and workshops on Ubuntu and an Install-Fest, and is organized by regional enthusiasts and team members from all the states, but most of all, it's an oportunity to have a gathering of ubunteros and have a good time... and of course, everybody can join the celebration!

Ubuntu Venezuela and...

We want to point out that the strong problems we are currently experiencing in our country: such as economic problems, transportation, lack of cash, political and social problems have prevented us from continuing with the realization, organization and participation in meetings and events as we used to do. Due to security measures and all of the above, together with the migration of members to other countries, they have greatly affected us and all the free and open source software communities that make life in Venezuela.

• However, we do not lose hope that we can soon recover our activities together with the stability of our country.

Roadmap

The Ubuntu Venezuela Community Council has set some short and long term goals for the team:

• Membership - Find new and interesting ways for new members to contribute with the community, and try to make it easy and rewarding to contribute.
• Helping the community in Venezuela, providing support in various ways by forums, telegram, facebook ,etc. This allows us to grow as a team and understand the needs of new users, allowing us to implement strategies to meet the responsabilities we have for this growing group of people.
• Ubuntu Members -The Ubuntu Members are recognized for the great work they have done and are doing for the Ubuntu project. These Ubunteros are subject to a very thourough inspection by the Council of Regional Membership

Our Pride

Without doubt our greatest pride is to be part of the satisfaction of the people that with a big smile in their face walk out of one of our Install-Fests happy with their shinny and new Ubuntu OS! ... and we do our best to make them feel that as Ubuntu users, they are not alone in this road to freedom ... they belong now to a bigger family... the Ubuntu-ve family!

But this is only possible with the participation and collaboration of a community, team work, and the will to fight against adversity and differences that often exist in any group of people and organizations. Only in this way we can conquer goals and achieve what has been achieved by Ubuntu-ve.

Throughout this time, all ubuntu-ve members that have passed through our growing family have left their footprints captured in this community. All those that have provided many good ideas and hard work, those who have given a little less but with with the best of faith, goodwill and hope, and absolutely all members who have worked for our LoCo Team, are valuable, and we trully thank them.

There is no greater pride than being valued and recognized positively for our work and effort.

Ubuntu-ve: "We now are many... we will be many more"

The best of wishes from Ubuntu-ve to the global Ubuntu community
