Aloha !!!! I am very pleased to announce the new Conference packs for LoCo Teams, this came from a session at UDS-M in Brussels of this year but also was something we've been looking at for a while. So it's great to see an action item marked DONE but also has a positive effect for a lot of people. We wanted to encourage teams to become and stay an approved LoCo Team and how we could possibly help. With that in mind we looked what was currently available, we talked to many people on what they thought might be helpful to them. When you attend an event you are representing your team and Ubuntu, so to present yourself in a professional manner we looked at things like a banner for teams.
The LoCo Council would like to thank Jane Silber for this as she was one of the people in the session who encouraged us to bring this action item to light and also we've had great help from Cezzaine Haugh and also Canonical for making this happen for all LoCo Teams, thank you very much! The following has been approved for conference packs, and the wiki <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences> has been updated to reflect this _Once off gift to approved loco teams_ When a LoCo Team is approved, part of what they need to do is nominate someone to receive and manage their LoCo Welcome Pack, which Canonical will provide. * x1 PVC banner - (one design only) * x1 Table cloth - (one design only) _Pack A_ - Approved loco teams * x55 Lanyards * x2 caps * x25 mixed sticker sheets * x25 pin-badges - (These have yet to be produced) * x2 t-shirts (release t-shirt) for give-away/booth staff * x1 Official Ubuntu Book (prize/give-away) - (Only while stocks last, we will not produce anymore than the amount received after each release) * CDs (250 Desktop, 25 Server, 25 Kubuntu) - (To be requested via shipit as per usual process) * Name badges (Loco to produce their own) * Ubuntu leaflets (Loco to create a project to produce their own ideas) * Ubuntu video (Canonical to provide - will be available for d/l on wiki once completed) _Pack B_ - UnApproved loco teams * x25 mixed sticker sheets * x55 Lanyards * CDs (75 Desktop) - (To be requested via shipit as per usual process) * Name badges (Loco to produce their own) * Ubuntu leaflets (Loco to create a project to produce their own ideas) * Ubuntu video (Canonical to provide - will be available for d/l on wiki once completed) Also discussed and decided last week on was: * Ubuntu leaflets - not relevant in most countries due to various languages. Loco council will introduce a community driven project for loco teams to design their own Ubuntu leaflets based on brand guidelines and access to assets. Assets for these can be found at: http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ * Name-badge designs - this is mainly when hosting their own events. Again Loco's to create their own using assets and brand guidelines. * Ubuntu video to run on machines at events - Canonical is currently working on a generic Ubuntu video in English and a few other languages - this will be added to the wiki page <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences> once completed.
