Key Details

Roadmap

Our long-term goal is to bring Ubuntu to computer users in Viet Nam, so everyone can use their computer without violating copyrights which, sadly, is very popular in our country. Some more detailed goals are:

  • Promoting the use of Ubuntu to end-users, government and educational institutions in Vietnam, especially end users and educational sectors, since we are mostly young people that can spend time volunteering for such purposes.
  • Participating in other FOSS related events with other FOSS communities in Vietnam that have the same goal.
  • Providing support and resources to people who are interested in Ubuntu or FOSS in general.
  • Sharing the knowledge, the value of free libre software between our member, improving our skill so we can contribute more to the developement of FOSS world.

And some of our current plans is

  • To organize an seminar at Can Tho University (Can Tho province) on 09/Jan/2011 (Idea from some instructors from Can Tho University)

Experience

We are co-organizers of Sai Gon Software Freedom Day 2009 with SaiGonLug at HCMC University of Pedagogy. In this event, we set up 20 computers with Ubuntu preinstalled with the help of Tran Xuan Huy so that people can try it More picture, Le Kien Truc.

  • FOSS Deployment:

The principal of Van Ban 2 high school had contacted us before we collaborated with HaNoiLug to deploy free open source software at that school in Lao Cai (sponsored by MOST fund) picture - Phan Trong Khanh and Vu Duc Phuong

Many of our members were volunteers of this event. We held Free Ubuntu training courses at this event - Le Kien Truc, Le Manh Kha, Tran Xuan Huy, Vo Minh Huy, Nguyen Quoc Thanh

  • We held many release parties in both Ha Noi and Ho Chi Minh City

These are photos from release party:

In these release parties, we bring blank CD and burn Ubuntu CD for those who can't download or have a new one. We also have some opensource gifts and give it to each other.

As you can see, we discuss together, share together and, of course, drink together. Our core team members often meet each other to participate in Open Source events.

Our Ministry of Science and Technology is the sponsor of this project. Together with the community we translated OpenOffice.org 3.1 and Ubuntu 9.10. We also have a plan to translate OpenOffice.org 3.3 and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

The Ubuntu's translation is done by Translation Team but the contributions from upstream is very important to complete this project.
