[Ubuntu-PH] Strengthening the Ubuntu Philippines Community

This was my suggestion for the Community as posted on another thread:

For the benefit of the whole community I suggest having lead contacts on
every city of the Philippines that have an active ubuntu user in this
mailing list, I believe this would make the community stronger and the reach
would be wider. If there would be 2 or more users in one city, then they get
to choose their lead contact, who would be willing to organize regular
meetups, do follow-ups, be on top of organizing events etc etc. a group
have the right to choose alternate lead contact if they want. If and when
the lead contact will be inactive for sometime the alternate will take over
the service of leading the group.

All lead contacts of every city will then report to the Ubuntu-ph LoCo
contact (Zak Elep) about their activities... but everybody has a voice...
that point should be emphasized.. Leadership is a Service and not something
to brag about.

I know previously according to Dax, others have been hesitant about this,
but considering that this community have started 5 years ago, we still lack
organizational structure although I know the growth on the number of users
have increased tremendously over the years.

I know I still owe the Ubuntu-Ph Community some effort to re echo the things
I have learned on Community Capacity Building when I attended Asia Source
3.

I'll start with this thread and let's get a consensus on this first item...
then I'll proceed on discussing the next.

I believe we need a timeline on our goals.. So can I expect people in this
mailing list who are still active and want to get involve in the Ubuntu
Community pls. reply with your thoughts in 2 weeks time... after which I'll
gather and summarize all of them. and post it again for your reference...


Thank You!

Hello everyone!

I am very much willing to support this idea. However, at this time we
are also busy participating on the CICT-iSchools Project. This project
aims to bridge the digital divide among public high schools across the
country. iSchools advocates the adoption of FOSS (Free Open Source
Software) in which Ubuntu is the operating system of choice. We as
SUC-partner participates in various trainings/seminars and conferences
in order to train teachers how to efficiently use ICT as tool for
teaching and learning in the 21st century. It is in this endeavor that
I would like to signify my interest to be part and take active
involvement to the growing community of Ubuntu users.

Mabuhay and more power to Ubuntu-PH LoCo Team!

We're specially interested on how the list will proceed with this idea. Us
Cagayan de Oro peeps will be on standby and will keep an eye on this
development. Let us know how we can help out.

Sir Botp Pena already created an Ubuntu-CDO group in Google Groups ahead in
anticipation.

We think further localization is a good move.

Regards!
