This is an e-mail distribution list.  When you send an e-mail message
to kubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com, that message gets distributed to
subscribers all over the world.  The purpose of a list like this is to
share information through questions, answers, comments, suggestions,
etc. with people that have a similar interest.  In the case of this
list, the Kubuntu operating system.

If you're looking for a regional user's group pertaining to all things
Linux, I would suggest starting at http://www.linux.org/groups.  From
there you can drill-down to a region nearest you.  The purpose of a
user's group is to meet people that have similar interests.
