Hmmm.  Note that the web site home page title is just
 Ubuntu Colorado Local Team

and "Ubuntu Colorado Local Community Team" currently appears just once
on our home page, in a story by David, and not at all on our wiki.

That phrase is the title of our mailing list/google group and a few
other pages, though.

At any rate, I'd still suggest the more meaning-filled phrase
"Colorado Ubuntu Linux Team" on our shirt, and maybe as our
official team name also.

Nice.  I'd prefer "CoLoCo Rocks" myself :-)
