We are a group of Ubuntu Linux enthusiasts (Ubuntu, Edubuntu, Kubuntu or any other derivatives) promoting personal,
educational and organisational use of Ubuntu. If you're new to Ubuntu, please see Ubuntu.com to get more information.
This group is for anyone in Ireland who is interested in or uses Ubuntu.
The welcoming of Intrepid Ibex by the Irish Ubuntu Community in Dublin was another success.
