Desktop.pngWelcome to the Ubuntu-ZA Loco Team

This site is dedicated to all Ubuntu users, developers and enthusiasts in South Africa. If you use Ubuntu or have an interest in the Ubuntu, then you are automatically part of our community. We want you to feel valued and at home. We call ourselves the Ubuntu-ZA LoCo Team. Ubuntu-ZA is an official Ubuntu LoCo (Local Community) Team. From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoFAQ:

A LoCo Team is a Local Community of Ubuntu users. A LoCo can involve a lot of things such as local promoting, support in the local language, general support to local users and much more. Most importantly however, it lets people find other Ubuntu users near them.

The Team Contacts are Jonathan Carter, Morgan Collett and Johan Mynhardt.
