[ubuntu-us-mi] Fwd: Re-approvals for O-Cycle rules and overview

[Greg Grossmeier]

Hello Team!

[tl;dr: The Michigan LoCo is up for re-approval! Help us make a strong 
case that we are an awesome and active LoCo team! See the request for 
help, please.]

For those of you who do not already know, the Michigan LoCo team is an 
"approved" Ubuntu LoCo. This means we get special nice things like a 
bunch of Ubuntu CDs every release shipped to us *for free*. We also can 
request special conference packs that include pens/hats/etc if we table 
at any local tech-related conference.

We were approved way back in December of 2007 [0] (wow!) and now we are 
up for re-approval. Re-approval basically amounts to a check-in that 
things are still going well for the team and that we are still active. 
See the email below for more about the re-approval.

Request for Your Help
---------------------

Please help out! I have separated the "how to help" into a follow-up 
email. See that for the full instructions.


All the best,

Greg

> Here are the rules:
> 
>  * If the application is submitted before the release of Ubuntu
>    Oneiric, we will consider it. If it failes to come in on time,
>    we *will* have to throw it away. We're serious about this one.
> 
>  * We're looking for a few key things in particular this cycle. We
>    really want to see up-to-date Team Reports. It's really something
>    that needs to be enforced. We're also looking (as usual) for
>    outstanding and sustained levels of activity.
> 
>  * The sooner, the better! We really need to make sure we get to
>    everyone in a sane way, and that means that we're processing about
>    2 applications a week. That's manageable, but not if everyone gets
>    them in the month before release.
> 
>  * By the way, we love you guys. We know you guys have
>    done awesome work so far, and we can't wait to see it! :)
> 
> Let's get those apps in!
> 
> Keep rocking!
