New Conference packs for LoCo Teams

[Laura Czajkowski]

Aloha !!!!

I am very pleased to announce the new Conference packs for LoCo Teams, 
this came from a session at UDS-M in Brussels of this year but also was 
something we've been looking at for a while.  So it's great to see an 
action item marked DONE but also has a positive effect for a lot of 
people.  We wanted to encourage teams to become and stay an approved 
LoCo Team and how we could possibly help. With that in mind we looked 
what was currently available, we talked to many people on what they 
thought might be helpful to them. When you attend an event you are 
representing your team and Ubuntu, so to present yourself in a 
professional manner we looked at things like a banner for teams.

The LoCo Council would like to thank Jane Silber for this as she was one 
of the people in the session who encouraged us to bring this action item 
to light and also we've had great help from Cezzaine Haugh and also 
Canonical for making this happen for all LoCo Teams, thank you very much!

The following has been approved for conference packs, and the wiki 
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences> has been updated to 
reflect this

_Once off gift to approved loco teams_
    When a LoCo Team is approved, part of what they need to do is
    nominate someone to receive and manage their LoCo Welcome Pack,
    which Canonical will provide.

        * x1 Table cloth - (one design only)

_Pack A_ - Approved loco teams

        * x55 Lanyards
        * x2 caps
        * x25 mixed sticker sheets
        * x25 pin-badges - (These have yet to be produced)
        * x2 t-shirts (release t-shirt) for give-away/booth staff
        * x1 Official Ubuntu Book (prize/give-away) - (Only while stocks
          last, we will not produce anymore than the amount received
          after each release)
        * CDs (250 Desktop, 25 Server, 25 Kubuntu) - (To be requested
          via shipit as per usual process)
        * Name badges (Loco to produce their own)
        * Ubuntu leaflets (Loco to create a project to produce their own
          ideas)
        * Ubuntu video (Canonical to provide - will be available for d/l
          on wiki once completed)

_Pack B_ - UnApproved loco teams

        * x25 mixed sticker sheets
        * x55 Lanyards
        * CDs (75 Desktop) - (To be requested via shipit as per usual
          process)
        * Name badges (Loco to produce their own)
        * Ubuntu leaflets (Loco to create a project to produce their own
          ideas)
        * Ubuntu video (Canonical to provide - will be available for d/l
          on wiki once completed)

Also discussed and decided last week on was:

    * Ubuntu leaflets - not relevant in most countries due to various
      languages. Loco council will introduce a community driven project
      for loco teams to design their own Ubuntu leaflets based on brand
      guidelines and access to assets. Assets for these can be found at:
http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/
    * Name-badge designs - this is mainly when hosting their own events.
      Again Loco's to create their own using assets and brand guidelines.
    * Ubuntu video to run on machines at events - Canonical is currently
      working on a generic Ubuntu video in English and a few other
      languages - this will be added to the wiki page
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuAtConferences> once completed.
