Congratulations. Since you live in Vancouver, you're one sign-up away from enjoying the biggest and best Ubuntu Local Community of its kind anywhere in the world. Real people from your neighborhood are here. And we're always happy to help you out.
This is not your typical "tech hangout". You won't see clusters of members sitting in silence and clicking on their keyboards. Instead you’ll see friendly people, lively conversations, soft comfy couches, smiling faces, good times, and a warm welcome!
“What! Are you nuts?! No one is going to help me!”
Your computer freezes up and crashes?
You pay too much of your family budget on virus killers, upgrades, office applications... $700? $1000? Your new $599 software doesn’t install properly? Your computer takes 5 minutes to boot? 10 minutes? Blue screens? Memory crashes? Smashed your phone because “Customer Support” was just some guy reading a script and had no idea how to help you? Can't find a real person who really understands your frustration?
It doesn’t have to be that way!
Ubuntu. It boots in less than a minute, requires no licensing fees, has no viruses and no registries, so your programs run up to 40% faster.
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.
When 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.
Our goal is to be the largest, most successful and respected Ubuntu community in the world. You can help make that happen.
Join --> Learn, Grow, Share, Ubuntu.
Please join Ubuntu Vancouver for a purely social event. This is a great opportunity to meet the members of your Ubuntu community in a relaxed and warm atmosphere. No computers will be there. Just interesting people!
We'll be gathering at a local, independently owned restaurant for treats, socializing, and Ubuntu!
Support a Meetup group while getting exposure to active, local members.

“ I'd say because it's freedom. ”
“ I imagine it is better than trying to figure everything out by oneself. Share experience. ”
