We want to be approved. :) == US Kentucky LoCo Team ==

CHANGE WORDING HERE SOME

The Kentucky Team was founded in January 2007 with 3 members and continues to acquire many new members since its inception. The KentuckyTeam focuses on distributing, advertising, and demonstrating Ubuntu in the state of Kentucky. Throughout the expansion of our many projects, we intend to focus on local schools, businesses, and home users themselves. Most new members respond with a mix of surprise and relief that a Kentucky team has already been established, indicating that the time is right for an Approved Kentucky LoCo.

Our primary focus is to address Bug #1: "Microsoft has a majority market share." We have great confidence that the required dedication and skill is collectively present in our team, and we feel that an official approval will bolster our efforts in fixing this bug.
