Organisational Structure

ubuntu-ch members have equal privileges and opportunities. As Switzerland has, although a small country, no less than 4 official languages with a wealth of dialects and variations, the official communication language of our LoCo is English. For most Swiss Ubuntu-users, support and information in their own (main) language is provided by parts of our community. A contact list is available on our wiki page:

• Regional Contacts in Switzerland

Activities

We distinguish between regular meetings and special events.

Regular Meetings

There is a regular monthly meeting of the Ubuntu Community in Zurich. It is very vital and funny.

Besides that there is also a monthly meeting of the https://wiki.debian.org/LocalGroups#Switzerland

Events

Ubucon

We regularly organize so called Ubucons. This year we decided to only organize an Ubucon for LTS releases, so the next one is planned for 2016.

To get some impressions of the last Ubucon for LTS 14.04, please visit:

• Ubucon 14 'Trusty Tahr' in Bern

Fêtons Linux

There is another big event organized by the LoCo which is Fêtons Linux. It happens in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, commonly in Geneva. The next Fêtons Linux is scheduled for 20151128. Please take a look at the Fêtons Linux homepage for further information.

Roadmap

There are some events on the Roadmap, e.g. the idea is to organize the Ubucon in different parts of Switzerland. We already have been in Winterthur, Zurich and Bern. A potential location would be Basel, as it's nearby the southern part of Germany as well.

We are also thinking about hosting the big European Ubucon somewhen.
