  • Work with the Ubuntu Training Community to develop courses for the users. Smile :)

  • Work with the Central and Latin American LoCo Teams and help the smallest groups to grow.

  • Encourage the CC-Members of Ubuntu-ni LoCo Team to become Ubuntu members. This will make them (the cc-members) work more and help the Ubuntu community to continue growing Smile :)

  • Introduce Ubuntu Linux in my work and make all the students (+1000) learn Ubuntu.
