I have been working with Dave Walker and Alan Pope on a new website 
for the team, based on the new Ubuntu branding and using Wordpress.org 
as the platform. The idea is that this will be a hub linking to our 
other resources including our area of the Ubuntu wiki at 
http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam but also to content and features that 
don't naturally fit so well in the wiki.
The preview of the new website design is at http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org 
(not much actual content there yet) and the brainstorming document is here:
http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/website

This would of course be an ideal vehicle for doing something fancy with 
a map and all the where are we type information that has been discussed 
recently. There was a frappr map, but their dotcom bubble has burst and 
frappr is no more, also Launchpad maps have been turned off, so our 
various previous maps of where people are seem to have gone. Some kind 
of Wordpress/Openstreetmap integration thingie would be fantastic and 
something we can give to other LoCos around the world so they have an 
answer to the question "what did the British ever do for us?"

Do dive in with your ideas, and we have a team meeting tomorrow night at 
9PM where some, all, or none of them might be discussed. The agenda for 
the meeting is in the traditional place at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeamMeetingAgenda
and you can join the meeting with an IRC client, or with a browser:
