Well said.

Stating the obvious perhaps: I think it's important to recognize that while
we all share some goals, this list, as individual teams we don't share
every goal.  "Think globally. Act Locally." means our LoCo will be focused
on what we can do in the DC area.  The proposed IRC gathering is comprised
of a collection of teams.  Many LoCo teams, I imagine, work fine within the
resources they have.  But it appears we're trying to figure out how to be a
"team of teams" -- sort of -- and how to make the most efficient use of
resources, yes?
