Hi, I am forwarding a message to indlinux-group from Baishampayan Ghose about a proposal to put together an Indian LoCo team for Ubuntu. For details of what such a team does, please see the appended message, and the links that it includes at the end. As I had discussed the possibility of providing Ubuntu support with various people, I think that it is great that Baishampayan has taken this initiative. An Ubuntu council meeting to discuss this will be held via IRC, from 17.30-19.30 IST, on Tue., 3 Mar., 2006, in the #ubuntu-meeting channel on Freenode (freenode.net). It would be nice to have some discussions on this beforehand, e.g., what kind of support can we provide for Ubuntu, how it will be organized, what can we get out of it (customized Indian-language Ubuntu distros,...) etc. If you are interested, you can add yourself to the Indian LoCo team via the AddYourNameHere link in the People section of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IndianTeam.
Regards, Gora

Hello everybody, We are thinking about forming a Ubuntu Local Community (LoCo) Team for India which will officially act as the support team for all Ubuntu related activities in India. The main functions of the group will be --
- Act as the official contact point for everything Ubuntu in India
- Organise advocacy / technical sessions about Ubuntu
- Represent Ubuntu in all major/non-major FOSS events in India
- Look at the various Indic related issues in Ubuntu and push
fixes
into Ubuntu main
- Being a LoCo team will allow us to maintain our custom packages
in
Ubuntu main repos, we can use that by having a package to distribute our customised packages, artwork, translations, etc.
- More!
So the main procedure to become an officially recognised team is to put our team on the next Community Council agenda and then the Community Council will discuss and grant us official status. I have created a wiki page for the IndianTeam in the Ubuntu wiki,
you
are all invited to add your names there and edit the wiki to add
more
content. I guess we also need to discuss among ourselves before the CC meeting which will take place on the 7th. Comments are welcome, and please go through the relevant links as given below. Regards, BG
