Work in progress

This Wiki entry provides the LoCo Council with a clear set of guidelines that can help determine the fitness of a LoCo Team seeking approval. This guidelines have been suggested by the community manager and for the longest time have ruled the way the Community Council grants the status of "approved" to new LoCo Teams.

The approval of a LoCo team can often be seen as a reward for the constant effort of promoting the Ubuntu philosophy in a specific region of the world, but it is a confirmation of commitment to the LoCo project as a whole.


What is Expected of the LoCo Team

  • All teams must provide the Council with a wiki page (in English preferably) with details outlined in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingApproved.

  • The team should have demonstrated a significant and sustained contribution to the Ubuntu community, from participating in a ubuntu-related project, documentation, localization, development (bug reports and packaging, marketing, participating in FOSS events, release parties. All of these abiding the Code of Conduct and following the LoCo team project's policies.

  • The team should have public wiki pages and an open public mailing list set up, these initial resources indicate open participation and they provide the Council with a log of the Team's activity.
  • The team should have an entry in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList.

  • The team should have been running for at least 4 months and have had a consistent set of interactions with each other (council members should look at mailing list activity to assess how much activity there is) - you should also assess IRC activity where applicable.
  • The team should have a good roadmap and a good set of goals that they want to achieve, The Approved status is only a confirmation of their effort and it is also a commitment for further community activity.
  • Is the leadership fair and open - has the leader being picked fairly and representing the team efficiently and effectively?
  • Has there been much conflict in the team, and if so, has it been resolved?
  • Do the council feel this team could be trusted with additional resources such as additional CDs and being sent equipment for use?
