She's done astounding work with events for the Ireland LoCo team, as well as other groups around Ireland and has done amazing collaboration work internationally with her work on the the Ubuntu NGO[1] team, among other things. For a glimpse into more of her work, she was interviewed for the Ubuntu Women column of Full Circle Magazine back in issue 26: <a href="http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-26/" target="_blank">http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-26/</a> She joins a fantastic team on the LoCo Council, so well done and congratulations Laura! </blockquote><div> Congratulations Laura!!! \O/ \O/ </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> [0] <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil</a> The LoCo Council governs the LoCo community, make decisions on resource allocation, deal with conflict resolution and make decisions about where the project should move forward.

We originally intended to have two new members on the LoCo council to replace the two members who recently left. However after voting we had a draw but as they are all fantastic contributors to the project we thought it would be best to add all three of them to the team. >From the Community Council's point of view it was great to have so many high quality nominees for the post to choose from. For the LoCo council I'm looking forward to working with these great new additions to the team.
