We had this idea, mmh, in July 2005:
http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/ubuntu-eu/

The Community Council didn't like the idea of an official Ubuntu-Europe 
organisation  affiliated to Canonical. They said canonical was already 
based in Europe, and that there was no need for such an organisation at 
that time.  Moreover, Canonical now proposes things I wanted Ubuntu-eu 
to do: flyers, hosting, Tee shirts, stickers... and i'm really pleased 
to see they have heard us ;)

So, I truly respect their decision; ubuntu-eu.org would be used to get 
informations concerning the cooperation between the european locoteams, 
mainly about hosting, but should in no way replace every locoteam's 
portal. And btw, ubuntu-eu would not have any legal existence.

If some day, we have the need of a new organisation affiliated to 
Canonical, we may speak about it again ;) But this is not our goal at 
this time.
