[RFC] LEP#2, Local Community Teams vs. Locale Teams

[Jon Buckley]

As I see it, the "super-team" shows a higher level of potential than the
other structures that I have seen so far.

For example, I can see this playing a big roll over time promoting & aiding
with the growth of collaboration between the LoCo teams. Additionally (and
please correct me if I'm wrong), but the "super-team" structure will help to
simplify & organize the contributions from different LoCo teams and
cross-LoCo groups.

For whatever it's worth, I give the proposal a thumbs up!
