Re: [ubuntu-uk] I'd like to be our LoCo team contact

Hi everyone

I'd like to put myself  forward to be our UKTeam LoCo team contact, as
we don't currently have one.

I'd like to think I've already been fulfilling a lot of the roles
described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamContact.  I follow the
loco-contacts, ubuntu-news and ubuntu-announce lists.  I've been
trying to encourage everyone to take an active part in developing
UKTeam by working on our wiki pages (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam).
I've also tried to help make us a "doing" team as much as a "talking"
team, by contributing to discussions that might otherwise reach
stale-mate (eg the multi-thread "support points" discussion, which I
brought on to the wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/GetUbuntu.

I'm also co-leading Software Freedom Day's Team Cardiff.

I'm quite happy to "step down gracefully" - as it says on the wiki -
if someone else comes along in the future who is better placed to be
our team contact.

So please share your thoughts on this, if you'd like/not like me to be
team contact, or if you'd like to do it yourself.  But I hope you'll
say me :-P.

I would like to second that

assist in any way please do contact me on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
