New Conference packs for LoCo Teams

[Khairul Aizat Kamarudzzaman]

Thanks Laura for the update.

I as a representative from ubuntu-my would like to thanks for the new revise item Conference pack for LoCo Teams. What i wanna emphasize here is the idea for LoCo Welcome Pack. I think this is a good decision making by the Canonical management. Why ? as mention "to present yourself in a professional manner" 

We in Ubuntu-my has to take initiative by raising some fund and sponsorship for some event we held like Ubuntu Release Party and from that we (Ubuntu-my) manage to build PVC banner for our Malaysian LoCo Team. Picture can be view here : http://bit.ly/cqm8Qp 

We for see this because if we always involve in big OSS event in Malaysia such as , http://mygosscon.oscc.org.my , http://mscmalaysia.my/opensource and other OSS in University n etc2 ... we need to show to the public that UBUNTU is operating system that ready for student , university , SOHO , SME , Government and Enterprise level.

Again, i would like to thanks n congrate to the Canonical + team that involve to make LoCo Teams looks professional in da future ... :)
