||<>|| = Join Us! = {{attachment:dc-loco.jpg}} Welcome fellow Ubuntites, Ubuntunistas, Ubunturists ("Ubunt-tourist"), etc! The DCTeam [[LoCoTeams|LoCo]] covers the Washington, DC metropolitan area, which includes parts of Maryland and Northern Virginia. We focus our efforts on advocating the use of [[EdubuntuWiki|Edubuntu]] in K-12 schools, local libraries, community centers, and housing projects... and wherever else we can think of. [[EdubuntuInstallations|Yorktown High School]] piloted, and remains actively involved in the development of Edubuntu. Other recent accomplishments include a rather successful [[http://maitri.ubuntu.com/softwarefreedomday/wiki/index.php/Washington|Software Freedom Day event]] and the installation of Edubuntu for the [[EdubuntuInstallations|Tenants’ and Workers’ Support Committee]] and both the [[EdubuntuInstallations|Mount Rainier]] and the [[http://cityoftakomapark.org/library/|Takoma Park]] public libraries. New members of the DCTeam should probably learn how to use GPG, so that they can digitally sign e-mail, files, etc. In particular, using GPG is required in order to sign the Ubuntu [[http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/conduct/|Code of Conduct]], which makes you a true [[https://wiki.launchpad.canonical.com/UbuntuMembership?highlight=Ubuntite|Ubuntite]]. In addition, you become part of the "web of trust". To learn about working with GPG, see the GnuPrivacyGuardHowto page. See also "[[http://www.youdzone.com/signature.html|What is a digital signature?]]". This [[http://www.hlug.org/presentations/gpg/gpg.html|GPG tutorial]] also looks promising.

Some are still learning Linux themselves, but are willing to offer affordable support to non-profits, and others with a limited budget. * [[http://www.citidc.com/|Community IT Innovators (CITI)]] * [[http://www.pcretro.com/webstore/catalog/|PCRetro.com]] * [[http://www.ceo4u.com/|Community Empowerment Operations (CEO)]] = Approval Page = * [[ubuntu-us-dc/Ubuntu-US-DCApprovalApplication|ReApproval Application for Ubuntu-US-DC]] ---- CategoryLoCoTeams
