I wasn't fully sure what local support was, despite me digging, I figured it was along those lines. I figure the goal was something like this: Someone from tennessee looks at the loco list, sees we offer local support, drops into irc & problem solved, without sending one more person to #ubuntu, potentially joining the loco to continue learning & helping others where they can.
