How do I organize an Ubuntu party or get together?

Solution 1:

There are tons of ways that an organized group of people can contribute to Ubuntu. Here are some of mine:

• LoCo Activities - formal teams in Ubuntu are called Local Teams (LoCo), they have a ton of information with good ideas on their wiki page. You can find if there's an existing LoCo team in the directory. I recommend you contact them and let them know that you're ready to start planning events at your school.
• Throw a release party!!
• You can run an Ubuntu Jam
• You can run an Ubuntu Hour
• And of course, you can all particiapte on Ask Ubuntu by asking more questions and answering them - the site is still relatively new and we could always use questions that new users are running into so we can help build a good list of answers.
