Welcome to the North Carolina LoCo forum!

[viridari]

The LoCo was just started a couple of days ago in response to the push by the US LoCo team to fill in the void in underrepresented states.

The team has this forum, and will soon also have a mailing list available.

Once we've got our mailing list and most of the current members are on it we'll start talking about regular meetings and set up an agenda for what we hope to accomplish in North Carolina.

In the meantime, feel free to post here or to chat live in #ubuntu-northcarolina on the Freenode IRC network!

Awesome!

Hey 00ber are you in IRC or just the forum or... ?

I wasn't aware of anyone in the IRC channel from Jacksonville. So far it is mostly the Triangle area (due to an announcement to our local LUG in the Raleigh area) plus one from Greensboro.

I'm glad to see another North Carolinian around, regardless.

Just the forum as of right now. I have just started using linux about 3 months ago, so. I'm still learning my way around, ya know.

Hello all from Hillsborough. I've been using Ubuntu since Hoary. Luv it. Let me know of any Loco plans.

Wow glad to see people popping in. Great stuff!

A LoCo can be thought of as a sort of users group covering a limited geographical area (in this case, the state of North Carolina). You can learn a lot more about what to expect here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoFAQ

Almost every state in the US has a LoCo now, with a few exceptions that should get plugged by the end of the year.

I expect we'll likely have monthly IRC meetings and also local meetings once the mailing list is up. This doesn't take the place of your local LUG but will give more focus to the local Ubuntu community.

Reporting in from Greensboro! Been using since that cool thing we called "Breezy Badger".

Howdy from the mountains of the west! Spending the next school year in Boone, NC and loving every single minute Ubuntu graces my desktop!
