I agree that LoCos should work to encourage and promote events
throughout their country. This means sharing team resources, making
sure everyone is notified of upcoming events and projects, and in
general encouraging individuals in their areas to do LoCo stuff where
they live (an installfest may be tricky, but it only takes one person
to put some Ubuntu CDs in their local library!).

However, I wouldn't berate teams who are generally much more active in
cities. There are more people in cities, more people can take on more
ambitious projects, and these anchor city teams will always exist.
Folks in cities cannot MAKE people in less populated areas do events
and be active, the people who live there have to do that, all the city
folks can do is to encourage them and be supportive when they do.
