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.
We're user @UbuntuWaterloo on Identi.ca in the group Ubuntucakw and user @UbuntuWaterloo on Twitter too. Also, you may see us on IRC at irc://irc.freenode.net/#ubuntu-ca-kw
We're heavily involved in the Kitchener-Waterloo Linux Users Group. Come out to a meeting (first Monday of the month) and ask around for Ubuntu KW.
