LoCo Team divide

[Bilal Akhtar]

Hello LoCo contacts,
I am currently facing a problem in the ubuntu-sa loco team for Saudi
Arabia. The problem is that almost everyone in the team on Google Groups
(http://groups.google.com/group/ubuntu-sa ) is using the team for
purposes other than spreading Ubuntu, translating, etc. Someone in the
team comes up asking for help in building a program on Ubuntu, other one
will hold a discussion about whether Windows 7 is good or not. I
recently created a team for it on Launchpad
( https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sa ) and asked each one of the 135
members to join it. This team was recently accepted in the locoteams
team and got listed in the loco directory. Only 3 people other than me
have joined the launchpad team. The team leader, nayif, himself hasn't
joined. The ubuntu-sa irc channels and forums are empty all the time. I
am the loco contact, but it seems like I am the only active member of
the team.
What should be done in such a case? I want the team to get an approval,
but for now it looks like only 3 members of the team are on my side, the
rest are against me :-( .
Cheers,
Bilal Akhtar.
