This week I joined the Ubuntu LoCo Florida Team and participated in last night’s team meeting (via IRC). Seems like a great group of people AND an excellent way to get more involved with Ubuntu (and really any Linux).
In addition to the IRC meetings, there are scheduled meetups to perform various activities such as installing networks for youth homes/schools, bug testing, documentation writing, and just plain fun. Anyone out there enjoy bar-b-que and beer???
I look forward to greater involvement!
If you have no idea what IRC is and need a Linux client to get started, I recommend xchat (sudo apt-get install xchat)
