Last weekend we held Ubuntu Party Chișinău, Moldova. I must say it was a lot of fun. New people, new places, new opportunities.

Get some pics here.

The whole party was driven by LMZ, and there was presentations about:

• Linux, and some of it’s history, by Tiberiu
• Ubuntu, and it’s history, by Andrei
• Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope — 9.04 and what new it brings, by me
• OpenStreetMap, and it’s Moldavian community, by Jekader
• Ubuntu Romania, and it’s path to a LoCo, by me

We did some coffee/coke breaks between presentations during this time I met a lot of new people, which in my opinion are ready and wish to become part of a local Ubuntu LUG (and maybe in nearest future a LoCo).

There are some credits to be given, especially to Technical University of Moldova, Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie, linux.md, fedora.md, bsd.md and of course GSL.

I must say that Ubuntu Moldavian community was started! Keep an eye on them, they’re going to become more and more visible soon. :)

Everybody can join the Ubuntu-MD mailing list, ubuntu-md IRC channel.

Soon there will be announced the forum, website and other details.
