[Ubuntu-be] About the Belgian Local Community Team (BelgianLoCo Team)

[jean7491]

Hi,

First, I am only writing about the Belgian LoCo Team.
The language problem is not my concern.
For a better effectivenes, the Belgian LoCo Team  should change from the
not formal organization to a more formal structure with members, working
groups and a decision level (a council which is mandated to decide).
But the first step is to think about this issue within an ad-hoc
thinking group.
I am just wondering how to create such a group to elaborate coordinated
proposals.
Later we can exchange ideas in the mailing list on these proposals.

What do you think about a page in the wiki where we can describe and
discuss proposed stucture for the LoCo Team?
