"You'd be surprised at the number of folks who see Linux as the
operating system of choice now."
~ -Mel King, Director, South End Technical Center

Boston, Mass., July 17, 2008—The Ubuntu Massachusetts Local Community Team is a group of volunteers and activists organized around the open-source Ubuntu operating system, often called “Linux for human beings.” The team advocates digital rights and freedom, and promotes Ubuntu use to achieve this.

They have been working with the South End Technical Center since January 2008, installing Ubuntu on center and user machines and providing weekly training sessions for experienced and novice users alike. On August 2nd the group will be hosting their fourth free Exploration Ubuntu event to demonstrate what this easy-to-use Linux system has to offer.
