Actually, that's not true. either.  What was said about the difference
between LUGs and Ubuntu Local Community Teams is all true.  However,
you are neither.  A LoCo is what I just said, an Ubuntu Local
Community *TEAM*.  A LUG is a Linux User *GROUP*.  You are an
individual.  Individuals are members of LoCos and LUGs and are what
make them what they are, but in no case can an individual BE either of
these organizations, or even the primary force behind one.
Individuals of course can do some similar activities as the groups
might organize, and will do their own advocacy on the side, but that
is not the same as acting or being recognized as a LoCo or a LUG.
I've noticed "I" being used a few times in your communications, and
just wanted to make sure that was completely clear before we continue
this discussion further.  If what you really meant was "hey, I do this
kind of advocacy; how can I get involved?", then you should definitely
be looking into being an individual member of bother the Washington
state LoCo (for when your activities revolve around Ubuntu) and the
nearest LUG (for everything else).  Regardless, good luck and best
wishes in your advocacy efforts!
