Hello LoCo-alists :)

I couldn't help to notice this morning that the names of the ubuntu
teams are a *big mess*. See for your self:
https://launchpad.net/~locoteams/+members

- <country-ish/-an/-ek/-ot/-whatever> Team
- <country-ish> LoCo Team, LoCal Team, Local Community Team
- Ubuntu <country> LoCo Team, Local Community Team
- Ubuntu <country-ish> LoCo Team
- Ubuntu <country> users Team
- and the list goes on.

The above series breaks a really useful alphabetical order.
There should be a naming standard for the launchpad loco teams, for example:

a) Ubuntu <country>[ (region)] Local Community Team
e.g. Ubuntu United States (New Mexico) Local Community Team

b) Ubuntu-<two-letter country code>[-two/three-letter region code]
Local Community Team
e.g. Ubuntu US-NM Local Community Team

c) A mix of (a) & (b): Ubuntu-<two-letter country
code>[-two/three-letter region code] (<country>[, region]) Local
Community Team
e.g. Ubuntu US-NM (United States, New Mexico) Local Community Team

(stuff in <...> required, [...] are optional, region = state or region)

I strongly encourage (c), as an all-around, eye-catching and
search-engine-optimised solution. Comments / Suggestions?

P.S. I'm talking about the team "Display name", not the "team-name" in
the link (e.g. "ubuntu-us" in http://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-us). You
could rename the team-name as well, but it's not so important for the
alphabetical order.
P.P.S. Don't start renaming anything yet! I think it's better for all
of us to decide together. :)
