That's actually a good suggestion.  I tried to start something like that 
here:
     
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/ContactUs/UnofficialLocalContacts
It's looking pretty empty at the moment.

Like it or not, meritocracy is the way the Free Software development 
community works (and by extension, a lot of the rest of the Free 
Software community).  Being dismissive of it will not help you gain 
favour with the LoCo council, and there is no way it will ever be 
abandoned as a practice.

Andre, the time for finger-pointing and name-calling has passed.  Now is 
the time to show your strength by 1) getting over it, and 2) doing 
something positive to make it better.
