Structure and Governance

The Ubuntu Portugal project was born in 2005, with the goal of spreading the word about Ubuntu and free software in Portugal. We have a small structure to help us organise our venues and events, and also to manage members and their contributions. Currently, we have a Community Board of 5 elements and these take crucial decisions regarding the Community's evolution.

In late 2017 the Ubuntu Portugal community suffered a slight restructure to increase Portuguese contributions in Launchpad, either by translating applications or to just provide an healthy, welcoming and inviting environment to people that love open and free software, as much as we do.

Currently, these are our project leads, providing help unravelling local projects:

Activities

Regular Events

Local, National and International

  • Encontro Ubuntu-pt @ Sintra
    • Every month, on a Thursday, the Ubuntu Portugal Community gathers together at Saloon, in Sintra, a region in Lisbon. We welcome everyone who wishes to join us and have a good time, sharing experiences and cheering for Ubuntu.
  • Encontro Online Ubuntu-PT
    • On the last Monday of each month, the Portuguese Community gathers in an online event to discuss the evolution, progress and projects of the Community. This is the space to bring new projects and get feedback on them, as well as to discuss developments of existing initiatives.
  • Documentation
    • Continue working and improving the community outlook regarding translations. The ultimate goal is to be able to provide Ubuntu written in Portuguese, as well as explained in Portuguese. For that, we have a sub-team that oversees the activities on these topics.

Our Pride

This community was born with the sole interest in Ubuntu and Free and Open Source Software. Our compromise and goal is to help spreading the word about Software Freedom, and Ubuntu, because it allows all to enjoy the benefits of technological advances. Moreover, we want to establish a national representation of Ubuntu in Portuguese, in branding, images and events.

Throughout the years, the community has suffered its ups and downs. Not always we have been the most connected LoCo to the Ubuntuverse. However, we lately experienced the need to shift priorities and we recognise how much we benefit from being a part of the Ubuntu Universe and Community.

This re-validation of our membership would mean we are back on the right tracks and also a cheerful recognition of all the community's efforts.
