The main reason LoCos exist is to promote Ubuntu within the LOcal COmunity (hence the name - LoCo). Some ways of doing this that pop to mind are: * working with local LUGs (or other clubs/groups) to promote, distribute and educate members and the public about Ubuntu * organising regular local catch ups (often referred to as "Ubuntu Hours") * organising a release party * arranging to get tables at events and conferences to share Ubuntu * setting up an installation festival to help new users set up Ubuntu on their device * holding an event to get a group of Ubuntu contributors together locally to do some bug squashing, documentation, localisation, etc.
Most of these types of events have been run in the past within the Ubuntu-AU team so if you're not sure about them feel free to ask, someone will no doubt pipe up. The LoCo has the resources to help publicise the event but each event has generally been thought of, organised and run by an individual or small group of volunteers in a particular area. So if you're interested in doing one of these things start having a think about it and let the team know and gauge interest, you might even find someone else to pitch in and help out.
