it yourself (proir to checking if a team exists... ) you add yourself as<br>> a new team.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> I understand a set of rules that work such as the Safe Guide To Scouting<br>> for the Boy Scouts. This is a plain and simple set of rules that makes it<br>> impossible to get in trouble if you follow them and would work great with<br>> the LoCo teams if you just took the parts about camping out unless you<br>> wanted to allow Linux teams to go on camp outs as part of club activities.<br>> The thing is there should be some suggested guidelines but unless the Ubuntu<br>> LoCo federation is directly responsible for the actions of each LoCo team I<br>> would not worry to much about controlling them.<br>> <br>> You are not controlled by the LoCo team council yet. cuz it hasn't been<br>> approved yet... there is no such thing as a LoCo federation (yet). The only<br>> thing you should abide by is the Ubuntu Code of
Conduct. and if you are<br>> bringing in other elements into the equation. (like lug participation in<br>> events and interaction with third parties), You still have to follow the<br>> code of conduct. plain and simple.<br>> <br>> <br>> I would worry much more about advertising the whole thing. To tell you the<br>> truth a simple advertising campaign on TV or Radio in the US would be a very<br>> good idea. This way you could charge a monthly fee of $10.00 to be listed on<br>> the LoCo site as a location and this money would go towards adds for the<br>> site. I don't see any problem here. Please let the LoCo team know what you<br>> think about this?<br>> <br>> Teams are welcome to work their way how they see fit. In two years, I<br>> haven't seen ads on Ubuntu team sites. mainly because people find ads<br>> Anoying. Canonical provides loCo teams with basic resources web site,<br>> mailing list. so the need to advertise to pay
for hosting is not that<br>> popular. to receive donations is not forbidden as long as there is a clear<br>> objective as to what will be done with the money.<br>> <br>> In WA State and Idaho it seems like pulling teath to get anyone to help me<br>> promote my LoCo.<br>> <br>> To be honest with you... Your resources do not prove you are not running a<br>> loCo team, there is hardly any promotion of ubuntu in any of the resources<br>> you set up. I would gladly help you set up an Ubuntu Community in your city.<br>> but first you should consider joining the existing team and giving them a<br>> well-deserved hand.<br>> <br>> A very usefull read... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto<br>> <br>> Cheers..<br>> <br>> Efrain Valles<br>> ubuntu-ve co-contact<br>> http://launchpad.net/~effie-jayx<br>> <br>> <br><br>begin:vcard<br>fn:Chris
