For Ubuntu Quebec (which is a province in Canada), this would mean: - - Ubuntu Canada Quebec Local Community - - Ubuntu Quebec, Canada Local Community - - ubuntu-CA - - ubuntu-CA-QC There's already an Ubuntu CA which is typically people active in Vancouver / elsewhere in Canada, and these new conventions would bring more confusion than anything. Our current naming/branding covers well our audiences with several members of both teams being present in both, without repeating efforts, as most (if not *all*) activity remains local to individual's geography. Dropping the "Local Community Team" and other suffix variations of it would also help in branding, as it's easier not to translate such phrases - perhaps just keepin "Team" is more meaningful at this point. Don't get me started on the politics around it. Although there's every intention to keep this out of politics (or vice-versa), the truth is language, culture, geography and context will always need to be considered in choosing a name. Discoverability, as other posts in this thread mention, seems more important (to me) than standardization - specially for existing teams. Regarding this, perhaps cities/regions with the most events could be linked-to directly from the loco.ubuntu.com site or displayed graphically somehow - for example in Quebec there are Ubuntu Hours in Chicoutimi, which most people would assume is too far for anything to happen. This would not be part of the display names but could complement it in the loco dir entries.
