It's interesting although not very surprising that this kind of problem has cropped up before. It was remarked only after the UDS in Boston that a greater involvement from the Local LoCo team would have been desired. Well I quit my job to be there all week as leader, I made sure I was there, gave $80 worth of case badges to people that attended, networked, met really interesting people; but you could feel the lack of contact. Canonical just aren't cut out to deal with the community yet. Why bother creating a huge LoCo team network if Canonical are just going to shit all over the team when the circus comes to town? Stop wasting resources being a typical software business Canonical and use the damn human and contact resources that your community is giving you, or at the very least don't piss them off so much. My advice for ubuntu-fr is to turn up and have some of your members man the big canonical booth and point general members of the public to the community support booth after picking up what ever swag from Canonical; although I'm still hoping Canonical will realise their error and ask you to merge with them as the local group your in a much better position anyway.
