Summary of the LoCoTeam meeting, 2005-10-3

[vern]

Agenda Summary

  1 Trademark issues for creating local charity organisations named
    ubuntu-something
 
  2 Distribution of Cds and conference packs - logistics issuues
    (ship-it)

  3 Relations to Canonical - eventual creation of a Locoteams team, to
    improve communication between canonical and locoteams 
        
        
1. TRADEMARK ISSUES
 The provisional trademark draft will be made public and sent to the
loco-contact list. It was proposed to change the agreement so that it
continued automatically unless cancelled, instead of the other way
around. The draft agreement requires 3 people to sign it, and stipulated
that there be some way for the team to change it's leadership. This
agreement will only be used in exceptional circumstances and will not
become standard for all loco-teams as there is a risk of abandoned legal
structures along with loco-teams

2. DISTRIBUTION OF CD'S
It was requested again that if anyone can produce CD's for less than
EUR .45 per unit (that includes everything but the actual shipping)
please get in touch with Canonical. 
LoCo teams can request a high priority order on ship-it
and they can state the specific date the CD's are required for if there
is one.
Breezy will be released on 13th Oct and the first CD's will not ship
until the week after.
A conference pack is being produced and should be available soon
((perhaps as soon as 2 weeks time )) and the pack will have a fixed
number of t-shirts, stickers and leaflets in it. The e-mail address to
ask for the conference packs will be released shortly  but please *DO
NOT* send requests for the packs directly to Jane. All the artwork for
the CDs (faces & packaging) will be placed on the wiki and all
loco-teams are urged to use the artwork as much as possible

3. LOCO-TEAMS TEAM
loco-contacts already acts as a de-facto LocoTeams team and seems ideal
for this role. This will be raised at the next CC meeting and only needs
to be approved to become official.
