Hi,

First, I am only writing about the Belgian LoCo Team.
The language problem is not my concern.
For a better effectivenes, the Belgian LoCo Team  should change from the not formal organization to a more formal structure with members, working groups and a decision level (a council which is mandated to decide).
But the first step is to think about this issue within an ad-hoc thinking group.
I am just wondering how to create such a group to elaborate coordinated proposals.
Later we can exchange ideas in the mailing list on these proposals.

What do you think about a page in the wiki where we can describe and discuss proposed stucture for the LoCo Team?

Hi,

I understand the issue highlighted by Jean's mail concerning the decision making process of Ubuntu-be. As I earlier tried to told him, there is no formal decision process in Ubuntu-be because we are not a formal organozation. And yes, this can be slow down things and be conterproductive. I've no idea of how it can be solved. I think it can be worked around with self-organization of small, task focused groups. The only Ubuntu-be wide action that have to be taken are money spending. For this, we could formalize voting. Something like: when a decision has to be made, a vote is called. Every member of the Ubuntu-be team (on Launchpad) registered before the call has one voice. Votes are open for a limited period of time. After the voting period, if the majority of the voters have said 'yes', the money can be spend.

The language excuse is the lamest I ever heard. I you really think the language is the issue, please go create Ubuntu-vla. Go create your own single language LoCo Team. Go to the LoCo council and explain why you think it is a good think and respect the Ubuntu spirit. Really, please do it. Leave us do the multi-language way. We will be pleased to announce for your events on our mailing list and website. We will be happy to publicize your realizations too. Unlike our beloved country, we don't have an old legacy keeping us together. I really think this would be stupid, but clearly you disagree. Since we cannot find a consensus, we better split up. And since we are Ubuntu-be, your are to ones who need to leave.
