Anyone interested in creating a local Ubuntu LoCo Team? There seems to be big interest on Ubuntu locally if we take notice of the shipment problems PLUG people have encountered. An officially recognized LoCo team can help out with these problems. Canonical and the Ubuntu community are encouraging the creation of LoCo teams for a lot of reasons - advocacy, localization (Rosetta has a Tagalog project that no one has started yet) and other stuff that can spread Ubuntu locally - they can even host the LoCo Wiki, mailing list and domain name (without charge). The whole thing is actually in their wiki page:
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/LoCoTeams Will a LoCo PhilippineTeam conflict with PLUG? I don't think so. It can actually enhance PLUG as it is today. A local, Canonical/Ubuntu-recognized LoCo Team can make a difference with regards to advocacy and public acceptance. Therefore, everybody wins. This is quite interesting. If we can get enough people to join the LoCo team, that would be great. Of course, full-time Ubuntu users are preferred as start-up team, but everyone is welcome to join!
