Approval Application for Danish LoCoTeam (ubuntu-dk)

The Danish LoCoTeam has for a long time been some people at a mailinglist, with various small projects popping up between few of the members. We now feel that we have gathered enough momentum to make the plunge to become a 'real' LoCoTeam.

The first task of the new and hopefully official LoCoTeam will be attendance at the 2007 LinuxForum in Copenhagen. We do not have at total overview on the number of members, so the number below will reflect the number of members on the mailinglist.

Experience

List here acivities that the group has already done. Again provide links to online discussions, reviews, blog entries etc:

• Translations - Many from the LoCoTeam participate in the translation of various FLOSS projects, mainly in cooperation with dansk-gruppen, a national FLOSS-translation-team. Ubuntu specific documents and other translation has been discussed and encouraged on the mailinglist.

• UbuntuLove.dk - We were working on a site, especially directed at newbies in spring/summer 2006. We were pretty much done, when the process stalled due to server troubles. Because of work pressure on the participants it lay dormant for a while. When the nice folks at http://UbuntuDanmark.dk/ were doing something similar, we contributed as much as we could.

• IRC-channel - We have managed to get the IRC from 3-4 people at the time to about 12-16 people at the time in the course of half of a year. This is probably mostly coincidental, but we have tried to refer people to it in various sneaky ways as often as possible.

• Forums - In cooperation with the people at http://UbuntuDanmark.dk/, we have managed to get a relatively active forum going at http://www.ubuntudanmark.dk/forum/. This has been done in the same ways as the IRC-channel.

• Translations - In cooperation with the people at http://UbuntuDanmark.dk/, we have managed to get a relatively active forum going at http://www.ubuntudanmark.dk/forum/. This has been done in the same ways as the IRC-channel.
