Ubucon
Since 2007 we are running our own german speaking Ubuntu conference called Ubucon. We started with two days in 2007 and since 2008 we have a two and half day event. Every year in October from Friday midday until Sunday afternoon. The Ubucon takes place in different cities in Germany. In 2007 it was Krefeld, 2008 and 2009 Göttingen and in 2010 it will be Leipzig. More Informations can be found at http://www.ubucon.de including pictures from the event.
ubuntuusers.de
ubuntuusers.de is a german-speaking community which supports and provides help for any question around Ubuntu. ubuntuusers.de consists of a forum, a wiki, a news section and a planet featuring german blogs blogging about Ubuntu. ubuntuusers.de uses its own, python powered portal software called Inyoka (see below)
Forum
Currently there are more than 100,000 registered users who have written more than 2.5 Mio. posts. The forum is maintained by more than 60 volunteers, who give support and moderate, and uncounted off-team supporters.
Wiki
The Wiki of ubuntuusers.de has currently approx. 4900 pages covering all topics from getting started and installing Ubuntu over using software up to advanced topics like setting up and operating server systems. The Wiki covers Ubuntu as well as official and recognized derivates. Everybody registered at ubuntuusers.de can contribute to the Wiki, quality and consistancy is supervised a the ubuntuusers.de Wikiteam, which consist of approx. 10 volunteers.

Inyoka
Before Inyoka was written, ubuntuusers.de used a mix of phpBB2, MoinMoin and a small Django news app. Obviously, things like user sync between these apps became horrible and the Webteam decided to write a custom app tailored for the needs of ubuntuusers.de. Inyoka is now running since 2007 and covers everything, from wiki over planet to the forum. At the moment, we are reworking it to make it usable by other communities as well.
