The part that is broken is when a Local Community Team is trying to
encompass the entire world.. I.e. language teams.. If language teams
don't work, thats fine. But the LoCo Directory is not setup to support
a language team. It does nothing for a language team. As I put in my
last email, LoCo Teams are designed to be by region, and not by
language. The suggestion made initially was purely a suggestion on a
way to collaborate resources between LoCo Teams that speak the same
language. As good as #ubuntu-es is, and then having the Spanish
Classroom, doing events like User Days, (trust me when I say I know
that it is good, having helped them out and seen them in action) I
can't see why that isn't utilized by the entire Spanish community
across the planet. Maybe whoever runs the Spanish resources should
reach out to the other Spanish speaking teams and offer to
collaborate, I don't know.
