Got the LoCo Team CDs, but without the contact name :(
Hi all, As the contact of the Swiss LoCo Team I received the 9.10 CDs this morning, but more by sheer luck and because I live in a small village where people know each other. Hadn't the post employee remembered that I receive such packs regularly, the whole parcel would have been sent back, since there was no name on it. It only states: LOC. SWITZERLAND followed by the street and town address. Not a clue what is in the pack, or where they come form (no company, just a town address for TNT/Swiss Post distribution center, no indication of Ubuntu or Canonical or Ship-it, whatever). Since we are requested to give the exact name of the contact, including phone numbers etc., why is my name not on the parcel? There are 12 different apartments at that address, with roughly 40+ people living here, don't expect the postal services/delivery company to guess, especially not in bigger towns, I am sure they will not bother but simply send it back. I fear the worst for other countries maybe never getting their packs... Also a sender indication would be a good idea, we have so many stickers to hand out, with 74 official LoCo teams this is only 74 stickers to put on a parcel. And having a precise address on a parcel is certainly not too difficult, I mean nearly every computer user knows how to make a spreadsheet for printing labels, this is 101 even for a Windows user, so from a software distributor I would expect this to be handled correctly at least. Sorry if that comes over like a rant, but that is a serious bug in delivery.

I got in touch with those responsible for ShipIt at Canonical but it seems you may have BCCed i...@shipit.ubuntu.com already. You should get an answer soon. Maybe you can share their answer and we can all learn from this. Perhaps I'll talk more to all my neighbors and postman too!

help for organizing an event in Canada
Hello, One of our Tunisian LoCo is now in Canada to continue his studies. He was an active member in our LoCo and now he want to do the same in Canada. He's looking for help and support. Here is his mail : Hello Canadian Ubuntero, My name is Mouahed and I am a student who is a member of Ubuntu Tunisian LoCo and a representative of my Mozilla Firefox College NBCC. I participated in several Ubuntu conferences in universities or colleges, I am a member in two other Mozilla campus reps for the Advancement of Mozilla Firefox and a Tunisian association for the promotion of free software. I'm here in Moncton for almost a month exactly to the city of Dieppe, I study Marketing but my real passion is the 'computer and it has long been a dream that I make an event at the college where I am studying at NBCC has devoted Mozilla Firefox and Ubuntu first, I started contacting the head of my department but one day my teacher is a passionate computer asked me to help replace Windowss xp or vista because it has made a puddle of days not free it from what I'm talking all the time in general especially of Linux with my friends who are studying in multimedia or web. I would like to have your help and support all members of Ubuntu here in Canada are welcome, the problem is that the department head asked me three questions which I could not answer now because there are many things to do before it is mainly to have contact with the Ubuntu community here, in all cases the head of department is delighted by the idea if he told me he has a contract with Microsoft and its products, but I want it to target all the world teachers and students there are many preparations to do before that's why I need your help any help is welcome and thank you in advance for replying will be celebrated the next version of the Ubuntu 9.10 as it should. Best regards Mouahed PS: For more information you can add me on facebook: mouahed elnahali; Skype: mouahed.nahali; gmail: mouahed.elnahali my cell phone number, 506 961 2135; my Blog dedicated to Ubuntu; http://mouhabuntu.blogspot.com -- Nizar Kerkeni LoCo ubuntu-tn and ubuntu member http://www.ubuntu-tn.org http://blog.nizarus.org -- loco-contacts mailing list loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts

Summarizing: Mouahed is in Dieppe nearby Moncton NB for a month. I suggest he looks at this list: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Members Also look for any local Linux user groups, of course posting a sign or two at your target campus or college will probably gather someone's attention.

Jonathan's done great work but no longer has time to invest in leading the community.
