Sponsored LoCo Teams (was re: Approved LoCo Teams - Discussion)

[Benjamin Kerensa]

I agree with the phrase "Sponsored" while at the same time I think YoBoy
has pointed out a seemingly important issue.

Which is sponsorship is nice albeit its not a reward or recognition the
reality is that LoCo's do a lot of hard work marketing Ubuntu to get this
label of recognition just so they can get CD's (never enough) to further
their marketing to a higher level.

I sometimes think the process and criteria used to judge who gets resources
is counterproductive indeed we have a number of states when love Ubuntu but
do not want to go through hoopla just to get DVD's which then they have to
distribute.

+1 for being the Ubuntu Community and not the sponsored Canonical Community.

CD twice a year, it's good, but it's clearly not enough. Where are all the
common communication stuff (stickers, badges,…)? Locos are alone for that
and have to find real sponsorship elsewhere.
