Ubuntu-za (aka Ubuntu South Africa) has been an approved Loco since July 2005. We work with the local LUGs to support the Ubuntu community. There are some factors that make activity in the South African communities unique. We are distributed over large areas and our bandwidth is expensive. It is important for us to spread Ubuntu in the form of install CDs and repositories to people so they can avoid downloading.

To this end we have Global Jams and Release parties and we take part in Software Freedom days.

We now have 4 ubuntu members on our team. We have a [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-za-maties|sub team]] in Stellenbosch. We connect with [[http://wiki.clug.org.za/wiki/Main_Page|CLUG]], [[http://www.leg.uct.ac.za/|LEG]], [[http://www.tlug.org.za/|TLUG]], [[http://flug.org.za/|FLUG]], [[http://algorithm.cs.uct.ac.za/|UCT Algorithm Circle]], [[http://sulug.sun.ac.za/cgi-bin/moin.cgi|SULUG]], [[http://glug.org.za/|GLUG]], [[http://www.lead.org.za/|LEAD]]

The [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-za/2009-November/004532.html|leadership changes]] in the past 2 years have been smooth ([[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-za/2009-October/004287.html|another thread]]).

This document was a [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/ReApprovalApplication2012?action=info|team effort]].

From our long term goals at our previous [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/ReApprovalApplication|ReApproval]] in 2010 we made progress on the following items:
 * More events outside of Cape Town / Stellenbosch
 * More Ubuntu Hours
 * More non-geeky users at events

One of our main focus areas has been to make sure the DVDs and CDs are distributed to other areas in South Africa.
