I only see one problem with the LoCo Locomotive. There is too much room for politics. I like the idea of several LoCo teams all over the world and one site pointing to each of them. The thing is even if we don't like everything they are all doing and saying we don't have to try to control them. Just having a general list of locations of LoCo computer labs is a good idea and advertising this list. I know there is politics involved in WA State because no one will even add my LoCo team to the list. I understand a set of rules that work such as the Safe Guide To Scouting for the Boy Scouts. This is a plain and simple set of rules that makes it impossible to get in trouble if you follow them and would work great with the LoCo teams if you just took the parts about camping out unless you wanted to allow Linux teams to go on camp outs as part of club activities. The thing is there should be some suggested guidelines but unless the Ubuntu LoCo federation is directly responsible for the actions of each LoCo team I would not worry to much about controlling them. I would worry much more about advertising the whole thing. To tell you the truth a simple advertising campaign on TV or Radio in the US would be a very good idea. This way you could charge a monthly fee of $10.00 to be listed on the LoCo site as a location and this money would go towards adds for the site. I don't see any problem here. Please let the LoCo team know what you think about this? In WA State and Idaho it seems like pulling teath to get anyone to help me promote my LoCo.

Because the condition of running a LoCo in every country may differ. -- Andi "Belutz" Darmawan http://www.belutz.net -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
