Ubuntu users cooperation in the Nordic and Baltic countries?

[Mattias Axell]

Hi Aku,

(Can't post comments on your blog, sorry!)

I remember this conversation although I did not partake. I think the 
idea sounds great although I can't see on the Ubuntu Sweden forums that 
it has been discussed since earlier messages.

I think there could be some great benefits for the Ubuntu / Linux 
community in general if there was a national association. As I 
understand, Svenska Linuxföreningen has become dormant since some years 
back? I work with civictech.se and we see it as part of our work to 
support development Ubuntu/Debian and Linux communities in Sweden.

I definitely think there can be interest for association, at least among 
people I have talked to. Is there a suitable list to continue 
discussion? Maybe https://lists.debian.org/debian-dug-nordic/ ?

Best,
Mattias
