[loco-contacts] Our teams reject the new LoCo Council policy

[Ubuntu-ast]

Hello all,

We would like to express our disagreement with the new organization 
politics on LoCo Teams presented by the LoCo Council. It has been a not 
consensual decision and even our LoCos were not consulted at any moment.


Establishing a LoCo per state would create organisational problems 
between them.

This new politic has been thought regardless of cultures and languages 
of possible regions on the countries, we consider this extent against 
Ubuntu philosophy, where from the beginning cultural and linguistic 
richness were promoted. As for translation teams, always related to 
their LoCos, this compulsive subordination is offensive for Galician, 
Basque, Catalan and Asturian translators and could carry abandoning some 
language translations.


 From Ubuntu-ast, Ubuntu-cat and Ubuntu-gl, we are always looking 
forward to work with other LoCos anywhere. The hard work from our 
members is volunteering, and this new politics does not take in
account the people, their culture or their work, but only countries, 
introducing a whimsical administrative organisation element that has 
nothing to do with people.

As this is volunteering work, the better thing to do would be not to 
annoy the volunteers.


This is a moment when Ubuntu community is not growing in any sense, 
please don’t make things worse with bad decisions. We request the 
removal of this new policy.

Best regards

On behalf of the Ubuntu-cat, Ubuntu-eu, Ubuntu-gl & Ubuntu-ast teams
