Hi all,

We would like to take a minute of your time to announce a new group forming in the area. The Ubuntu Alaska Local Community is a Linux advocacy group that has the primary goal of promoting, educating and advocating the use of the Ubuntu family of Linux Distributions that are published by Canonical, Ltd.

If your interested in Linux in general, and The Ubuntu family of products in particular please feel free to join us online and in person to help out.

you can find us on IRC @ #ubuntu-alaska on irc.freenode.net

our forums are located at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=280

our mailing list is at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ak

our webpages are at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-alaska and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlaskaTeam

Please don't be dissuaded by the lack of content at the moment as we are a really new group and still trying to get our stuff together..

Hope to see you online or in person.

Enjoy
The Ubuntu-us-ak Team

Kinda quiet here, also on the IRC chan..

Would be nice to talk to other Ubuntu users in AK

I'm in Seldovia and have been using Ubuntu for several months, would also be interested in helping to get the ball rolling.

Hi all, glad to find and join a "local community" support group. I am located in Sitka and have been using Ubuntu since 5.04. I am currently using Ubuntustudio and as I type, upgrading to 7.10.

Hello from Kenai.

I've been a Linux user in general since late 2000, and using Ubuntu since Warty.

I'm not a newbie, but I'd be the first to admit I'm no guru. Regardless, I'd love to help much as I can.

Well HI everyone.

Sorry it' been so quiet. I seem to have everything setup and going. Now we just need direction.

If our goal is to be approved so we can get free CD's for distro and start Advocacy then look at this

I would presume we need to setup some meetings so we could planing a few activities....

How Say you?
