Ubuntu Wiki

The Kitchener-Waterloo Chapter of the Ubuntu Canada Team is dedicated to promoting Ubuntu in South Western Ontario.

We're heavily involved in the Kitchener-Waterloo Linux Users Group.

How to Join

The easiest way is to come out to one of our Ubuntu Canada events in KW.

You can sign up on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-waterloo-region. Join the mailing list there.

Alternatively, come out to a KWLUG meeting (first Monday of the month) and ask around for Ubuntu KW.

Ubuntu Hours

There are two Ubuntu Hours in Kitchener-Waterloo. No registration required, but you can if you want to on the http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca Canadian Team Events page.

Charles McColm hosts an Ubuntu Hour at Misty Mountain Cafe (33 Queen Street South). He'll has the usual complement of Ubuntu (32)/Kubuntu (32)/Ubuntu 64-bit server CDs.

Ubuntu Hour Waterloo

Ubuntu Happy Hour at the Welly! Or is it Happy Ubuntu Hour? The Duke of Wellington is a nice English style pub which happens to offer a wide selection of beverages, and occasionally live music.
