[ubuntu-za] Regional help and CDs

[Marco Gallotta]

So we have:

Pretoria: Nico
Stellenbosch: Maia (I'm just guessing, this makes sense right?)
Bloemfontein: Frans
Port Elizabeth: Andre
East London: Vijay

Notable regions lacking a contact:
Johannesburg
Cape Town
Durban

Can I suggest we have one main contact point per province, and then
have a sub-contact for major regions within provinces where necessary.
So for example, Nico could be contact for Gauteng and someone else
sub-contact in Johannesburg. Same with PE+EL and CT+Stellies. This
would currently give us 5 provinces (Gauteng, WC, KZN, EC, FS) if we
can fill KZN. Then the main loco contact (Maia) can contact the
provincial contacts who then arrange to collect CDs / host release
parties and then they can contact the regional contacts within their
province to discuss whether to colloborate for a single collection /
joint event or go off separately.
