We do have a Ubuntu Nordic website set up at
<a class="m_-6834238308154177109moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ubuntu-nordic.org/" target="_blank">http://ubuntu-nordic.org/</a>. I have admin access to the WordPress
installation there and can share with more people if needed.<br>
<br>
There were some discussion about more "shared" content some years
ago, but for now it's just a landing page that forwards people to
the local websites.<br>

<div>I'm not entirely sure what you suggest, but if you
plan to set up an Ubuntu association for all the Nordic
countries, that's cool. Things have been quiet for many
years now :)</div>
<div>Are you already in contact with the Finnish LoCo
team?</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello, I am a nerd from Suomi,
Hämeenlinna (Finland, Tavastehus) and I am
launching projects to mitigate digital
marginalization. I heard in IRC and/or
Facebook that there are no official
associations in many Nordic countries even
though there is interest in establishing such
organizations.

<div>The irc channel referred to at <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nordic" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nordic</a>
seems to be dead. Let me attach a few
screenshots of our discussion this morning
and earlier.</div>

<div>I am suggesting that a Nordic association
for promoting Ubuntu will be established in
Finland.<br>

<div>I have a good amount of cooperation
organizations and individuals in Finland
helping me get funding. </div>
<div>Unfortunately the first campaign is not
legal so I cancelled it and the money (70
eur) will be reimbursed to these friends of
mine. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/donate/412824969245639/413059055888897/?fundraiser_source=feed" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/donate/412824969245639/413059055888897/?fundraiser_source=feed</a></div>
