Topic: Encouraging LoCos to do Team Reports

Team Reports are a chance for different groups to share what they are working on, with the community at large. Approved LoCos are required to do Team Reports. It would be great to know what LoCos from all parts of the world are doing to promote and support Ubuntu. Unfortunately, most LoCos do not bother filling out the Team Reports. In October, only 11 of 60+ approved LoCos bothered to provide any information. Now, its not realistic to expect every LoCo to submit information every month, maybe a large number of members are on holiday, or it may simply be a lull between projects, but we all know more than 11 LoCos have awesome projects going on they can share with the rest of the community.

To promote the LoCos that are taking the time to fill out the Team Reports, their submissions will be published in the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Fridge, and Planet. This will not only encourage more LoCos to communicate their activities, but also provide all LoCos ideas of what they can do themselves.

Topic: South Africa LoCo Review

The South African Team was up for their yearly review this month. During the IRC meeting, Morgan Collett stated the review prompted a leadership change. A smooth transition was made to benefit the LoCo. Jonathan Carter and Morgan are now leading the team.

The yearly review gives LoCos a chance to take stock of how a LoCo is doing, what can be improved, and make plans for the future. The LoCo Council is here to make sure LoCos have the resources and help they need to support their areas.

Congrats to the South African Team on a successful review and good luck for the future!

The next LoCo Council meeting is 15 December 2008, 19:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting.
