Hello! I believe this would be best discussed with the LoCo Council, not the news team. Looping them in! LC, please remove the News Team from the loop on the next email - maybe we can come back with a more solid article or post it to the LC blog :) -- José Antonio Rey <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Apr 19, 2015, 00:55 Miles <<a href="mailto:msdomdonner@ubuntu.com">msdomdonner@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Dear Editor, A group of ubuntu-za members decided to check the condition of LoCos's in Africa in January this year. We were shocked to find that most LoCos are basically missing in action. Of the 18 we have found 9, (some in a very weakened state) that are still there, and have got them to join irc #ubuntu-africa a channel created for the purpose of uniting all ubuntu users on the continent on one channel. There are states that only have one ubuntu user, so with the irc channel we give them a home base to work from where we can help and support one another. A few of the ZA guys have got together to design, build and host a site for everyone in Africa and attract as many newcomers to Ubuntu as possible. Anyone that can help us find the missing groups or any Ubuntu user in the missing areas is welcome to lend a hand. We will keep trying until we have linked the whole continent. So far here is what we have <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AfricanTeams</a> I can be found on #ubuntu-za and also on #ubuntu-locoteams as Kilos but you might need to pm me on the second channel so we dont discuss off topic matters. All the best to you all Miles -- Ubuntu-news-team mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-news-team@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">Ubuntu-news-team@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-news-team" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-news-team</a> </blockquote></div>
