Re: Ubuntu Moscow LoCo

Some countries (like ours, Belgium) are only as big as some of the cities mentioned here. I see no reason why they should not form their own group. And what their interaction is (or lack thereof) with the country team, should be up to those teams entirely. Just like there is no obligation why a sm

Hi Sergio, council, and team contacts, The response ended on this list (loco-contacts) by accident, an unfortunate circumstance of my allowing Thunderbird to auto-complete an address beginning with loco- and then pressing send without looking carefully. The response was meant to go to the moderate

Re: Ubuntu Moscow LoCo

Hi everybody! I see a lot of opinions and different points of view, this is always a good thing! but as Pablo Rubianes said the LoCo Council must work on this, with the help of this commentaries and of course with Ubuntu-RU leaders We (LoCo Council) are working on this, in our last meeting with U

Re: Ubuntu Moscow LoCo

A LoCo team, as it's currently defined, is simultaneously two largely-separate things at the same time: 1) A set of online resources: mailing list, IRC channel, forum, web page, wiki page, etc., and 2) A group of people in a city who do things. Or, if you're very luck, separate groups of people in

Re: Ubuntu Moscow LoCo

As I see all this I think this: as I see it is better to have groups per city as having "Real" meetings is much better than IRC/mail and even Hangout as (not everyone in the world have propper internet access) but having this huge amount of new teams will mean that we will need much more resources

Re: Ubuntu Moscow LoCo

Hi All, My take on this has changed a little. I think right now our primary focus should be encouraging and inspiring teams to actively participate in Ubuntu, and I worry at times that our requirements around approval or meeting a certain criteria can stand in the way of teams being active. If we

Hi. I'm not giving my pros or contras in this particular question, but please note, that Moscow and St.Petersburg are separate administrative areas of the Russian Federation (somewhat similar to states in USA or, better, to DC) and not ordinary cities. So, I'm seeing http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/u

Re: Ubuntu Moscow LoCo

Laura, I respectfully disagree. And, I am particularly troubled by your tone, which feels condescending and combatative. Not at all what I'd expect from a leader in Ubuntu in response to a simple administrative request. Placement on loco.ubuntu.com is a means to get a team visibility that they can
