Still buying software? Still letting computer manufacturers dictate what you can and cannot do with your computer? Start building community instead. Start enjoying humanity. Join our group.

Ubuntu is an African word meaning 'Humanity to others', or 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. The Ubuntu computer system brings this concept to the software world. We encourage all computer users to attend, no matter what software you currently use, and no matter what your comfort-level with computers.

If you join, you will meet other Ubuntu enthusiasts in Vancouver to talk about the latest news about Ubuntu, great software, and cool stuff that you can do for FREE and with total FREEDOM on your current computer. Help, encouragement, and great friendships are just a mouse-click away! You will likely meet someone who can help make computing a more enjoyable experience for you.

... and forget everything you might know about computer groups. This is not your typical "tech hangout". We are real people doing real things for a really good reason.

Our goal is to be the largest, most successful and respected Ubuntu community in the world. You can help make that happen. More information can be found at our official web site at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Vancouver
