Fyi, I'm not the PoC for my teams, but this doesn't change my opinion.
Or, this is a restricted list and I should leave it?

With all respect, it's a bit more complicated. People tend to follow
what a loco mails them/asks them (simply by respect to PoC or member who
asks something), and this is really not that situation when a loco team
members should follow, simply because for loco duties it was never said
to `support unofficial communities` or get a facebook/twitter account
every time some ubuntu-guy wants it.

And because I can be influential in my loco team, I should ask people go
there? Common?!?!
I would do that if we had a marketing team member who's job would be
supporting all kind of this stuff, but since we are all busy translating
and coding, I wouldn't dare to push that. Or, if you think we're doing
that wrong... then it's somebody else who shouldn't be on this list.

As I said, I think the subject is fully expired by now and I'm not going
to respond any more to any emails in this thread.

Kind regards.
