Here I have to agree with Søren, Leandro and Fabian: We should just
drop the Local Community Team suffix once and for all!

Our community is global and not everyone speaks English. Let's just
get over it. I have worked directly with several non-English speaking
teams (-ec, -no, -is) and for all of them using Local Community is not
relevant or intuitive, and it actually only adds confusion.

As much as I find the "LoCo" thing intuitive and cool, it just does
not work for communities outside of the English speaking universe. And
remember what Wittgenstein said: The limits of my language are the
limits of my universe. ;)
