That's ludicrous, of course. If someone wants to set up Ubuntu enthusiast resources, they're free and welcome to do so. An Ubuntu Local Community Team is a a focused advocacy group and there is a chain of responsibility leading up to the Ubuntu Community Council. It is important that what is done in the name of a LoCo is actually sanctioned by the LoCo. > I think it's just fine.

There is no way for others to know if a new resource is officially sanctioned or not. You mentioned disregard for the wiki page but it is a requirement for the LoCo. We discussed concerns that the LoCo does not have the resources to maintain a presence in so many media and is already stretched thin. You are welcome to review the conversation and then participate. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/08November16 We don't have any desire to impede progress. We didn't make Grant delete the Twitter account, instead we talked about how we can make it work as a service to California enthusiasts interested in the LoCo and we're still working on that. But the LoCo still needs to be involved in these kinds of decisions. If someone just wants to set up an Ubuntu User's Group, they don't have to check with us. (We'd be happy to hear from them and lend support, though.) -- Nathan Haines <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Ubuntu California Local Community Team -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
