=== Info on LoCo Furnished Resources === * Ubuntu leaflets - not relevant in most countries due to various languages. Loco council will introduce a community driven project for loco teams to design their own Ubuntu leaflets based on brand guidelines and access to assets. Assets for these can be found at: [[http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/|Ubuntu Brand Guidelines]] * Name-badge designs - this is mainly when hosting their own events. Again Loco's to create their own using assets and brand guidelines. |
