Purpose of the site
SteveSmith: After reading the comments of Mark Van de Borre and [:GeemanUK:Grant] [https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2006-June/000500.html on the mailing list] it seems to be the consensus that [http://www.ubuntu-uk.org ubuntu.org] should be something similar to [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com], but obviously with a UK slant.
Map
To get you up to speed if you haven't read the mailing list:
The Belgian LoCoTeam maps ([http://map.ubuntu-be.org/nl/ Dutch] and [http://map.ubuntu-be.org/fr/ French] have inspired the our team to create a similar map, indicating where free/non-commercial support/friendly faces can be found.
[:GeemanUK:Grant] has offered to deal with the coding-end of such a map.
MatthewEast has suggested that we should first recruit people who can offer support before it's worth creating a map. In order to keep this list "live" and available for easy immediate use it is located on [:UKTeam/Support]. Please add yourself there if you can help!
