As an example in my team, Ubuntu-ie we have mainly operated out of 
Dublin for the last 3 years. We have tried in the past to get other 
areas involved but there was either only 1 person or nobody really 
interested.  What we did was organise events in Dublin and try and let 
as many people all over ireland know about it.  We mailed colleges and 
sometimes students came from other areas.

This year (3+years later) we have gotten Ubuntu hours outside of Dublin, 
this is very new and we're trying to test the waters. We have them on 
Cork and Limerick now, but there would be no point in setting up a LoCo 
yet or any time in the future with only 2 people, we all work and 
promote Ubuntu under the Ireland umbrella. We have our global jam this 
month in Dublin, as again venue and people are there, but what we are 
doing is to to have one day face to face and on Sunday we can work 
remotely on IRC. So there are lots of different ways to get your 
community involved.

What I have noticed on this thread, is that many of the issues raised 
seem to be USA centric.  I think we can all learn from other teams and 
how they do things, perhaps this is a topic for the LoCo Health Check 
next month if someone wants to bring it up we can kick off a discussion 
there and from there work on some guidelines
