Re-imagining

[Darcy Casselman]

The LoCo council (well, Laura, anyway) really wants us to split Ubuntu
Canada up by province.  But I don't think Canadian provinces would have the
traffic to sustain the online communities that comprise a LoCo team.

It is arbitrary.  The goal, I think, is to subdivide the world into large
areas that catch everybody.  Limiting to *only* cities wouldn't catch
everybody and in all but a few cases wouldn't, again, have the traffic to
justify the *online* community.

Like I said, city teams are great, but they're different from the
mostly-online existence of LoCo teams.  Remember, the phrase "LoCo team"
means two different things right now: the city team and the online
community.  Neither are "wrong."  Both have value to someone or they
wouldn't exist.  Focus your own resources and efforts as you will.

Darcy.
