LoCo Outreach via Team Cross-Pollination

[Sense Hofstede]

Het volgende bericht is naar de Ubuntu LoCo contacts mailing lijst
gestuurd. Erin wordt opgeroepen om te proberen meer mensen vanuit de
LoCo's actief te maken in de grotere gemeenschap. Dit zou kunnen
doormiddel van het uitnodigen van mensen die in de 'grotere
gemeenschap' actief zijn om iets te vertellen tijdens de 'maandelijkse
IRC-meeting' van de normale gebruikers -- iets wat we niet hebben.

Ik denk wel dat we er dingen uit kunnen gebruiken. Misschien dat we
tijdens meetings en IRC-vergaderingen eens iemand uit kunnen nodigen
om iets te vertellen wat hij of zij doet. Wat jullie?

This is an idea on how to get new LoCo members interested in different
parts of the Ubuntu community.

The wiki is a great resource, where new members of the community can
learn about all the teams that make up the community, what they do,
how they do it, how to get involved, and much more. But some folks
still feel intimidated or overwhelmed by the wiki. Some just learn
differently. Thats why Ubuntu Classroom and Open Week are great, they
provide a different way to present the material to interested
individuals.

But Ubuntu Classroom and Open Week are pull methods, the user has know
thats what they are interested in before attending.

I suggest a push method. Lets take IRC LoCo meetings. Assuming a LoCo
has regular IRC meetings, wouldn't it be great if someone from the Art
Team stopped by and discussed how the Art Team works? How about
someone talking about how to translate Ubuntu into their native
language? What if the Documentation Team discussed what needed to be
updated for the next cycle? This can be extended to every community
team. Tie in slides and web pages with Lernid and the discussions
become more powerful.

The advantage to LoCos is that they get someone who is very
knowledgeable about a specific aspect of the community to present to
their LoCos. And it might make LoCo meetings less boring :-)

This would obviously require the various teams to make an effort to
reach and communicate with LoCos, but the advantage to teams is that
they are actively recruiting from a pool of individuals who they know
are already interested in the Ubuntu community.

Thoughts? Criticisms?
