We're starting to reach out to LUGs now. I'm trying to figure out what to say to them. What can we (the national LoCo) offer and what should we be asking of them? We started with "Hey, you should become a chapter! :D" But in our first attempts, we've run into some resistance because they don't want to be tied to a specific distribution. We're going to work on clearing up that misconception, but it does seem to illustrate problems with our approach. We've seen more suspicion than enthusiasm. How do you suggest avoiding that? For cities that have no LUGs, but has one or two people on the mailing list, our way is a little clearer: tell them to start an Ubuntu Hour. Start holding events. But are there best practices to help them get their groups off the ground? I think one of the problems the bug was meant to address is that most of the documentation for LoCo teams assumes one LoCo Team == one group. But the local groups and the regional/national teams seem like two different things to me. There's not a lot of guidance for how the national teams can encourage and support local groups.
