I am a law student about to qualify as a barrister but I got bitten by
the linux bug about a year back and have been getting worse since. I'm
based in London.

The idea was to focus on advocacy but really the group can do anything!
Add any ideas to http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UKTeam

The current things on that page are:

  * LugRadioLive2005 - several prominent Canonical/Ubuntu/Kubuntu
members are speaking. 
        
      * Install parties - helping procure CDs?. 
        
      * Advocacy - Ubuntu presence at conferences. 
        
      * I18n - Help coordinate, encourage and support translation and
        internationalisation in non-English United Kingdom languages. 

JohnLevin mentioned to me that he is organising an Ubuntu stall for
LugRadioLive2005: hopefully he will let us know what he plans and some
people can help!

I would be very up for helping with last of the above: although i don't
speak any non-English UK languages, I have had some experience working
with Ubuntu translation teams and Rosetta (our online translation
interface) so could help anyone wishing to get started. Another option
is the translation of the unofficial (slightly dodgy but very useful)
guide at http://ubuntuguide.org . Information is here:
