Ubuntu is so much more than an operating system: it is an ethos, a collaborative project, and,

first and foremost, a community of people. Ubuntu Local Communities, or LoCos as they're

called, are comprised of users and enthusiasts who are ready and willing to share their

knowledge and experience with you.

Attend a support event in your city or contact your nearest LoCo to access a wealth of Ubuntu

resources.
