Hi friendly teams,<br>
<br>
Tadeáš (in Prague) has brought a community testing program to my
attention and has asked that I help share it with the world. His
message follows.<br>
<br>
I think this is an awesome example of the community stepping up to
get Ubuntu running on more and more systems. I would appreciate it
if you forward to your respective teams to see if there are other
parts of the world where we can adopt a similar community-driven
model.<br>
<br>
Thanks and keep up the great work out there! Take Ubuntu everywhere!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Randall.<br>

Hello Randall and team,<br>
<br>
first of all, thanks for join me to your LP team!<br>
<br>
I would like to inform you about a new activity in the Czech
republic in Europe. Several weeks ago we have contacted some PC
producers to test their products with GNU/Linux, especially with
Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
ASUS has confirmed this collaboration and we are able to test all
their products with Ubuntu - they have many computers to be sold
without OS and we can test them. Currently we are testing only
computers without OS, computers with WIN are not tested. After
successful tests we inform about it on our Czech Ubuntu blog (e.g.
this is the second article from the last week in Czech - <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://blog.ubuntu.cz/clanek/prvni-krucky-ii">http://blog.ubuntu.cz/clanek/prvni-krucky-ii</a>).<br>
<br>
Try to thing if this is possible also in your regions and
countries around the world.<br>
<br>
In the Czech republic we have (Vojtěch Trefný and me) a special
non-profit "Civic society for Ubuntu", this is really good - you
are able to communicate very officially and it is a part of
normal/standard LoCo team. <br>
