[ubuntu-us-mo] LoCo Approval Page

[Matthew Copple]

I see that we've had several new subscriptions in the past day or two.
Welcome! Hopefully, we can get the mailing list active again.

I just posted a thread to the Missouri team forum about loco approval.
The following link will take you to the LoCo Approval page on the
Wiki:

I would like to suggest that we restart our quest for approval by
putting together a formal mission statement and strategic plan. I've
been reading Jono Bacon's _The Art of Community_, and I am very
impressed by his method for team formation. I wish I had his book back
when I was in college studying for my business degree! It's
practically a management degree in paperback.

I am also recommending that our next "official" Loco meeting be on
January 12th, after the completion of the holidays. I know a lot of
folks are out of town right now, or busy with holiday preparations --
let's get those out of the way, and then start out 2011 in style by
getting this LoCo back up and running.

Thoughts?
