 Team

 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.
